1. Miami has a lot of talent.
But I'd be worried about their depth, not to mention chemistry.

The Orlando Magic matched the Chicago Bulls' offer of $20 million for three years for J.J. Redick. Because they had to, really; as it is, the Magic are looking at threats from Boston, quiet but dangerous Atlanta, and Miami; they don't need the Bulls also challenging for the top of the East. You're joking, I know, and I'm taking it seriously, but the joke is probably on me when J.J. Redick is worth $20 million over three years. Oh, and the Magic have exceeded the cap by almost $30 million!

Oh, the NBA race in the east is going to be interesting to say the least...

2. I saw Wilt play at the Cow Palace with the Warriors as a child circa 59-60 nt
Unfortunately, I am still a Warriors fan and we may have a new owner.

4. Blind-sided me with th new ownership; Thought Ellison would prevail.
Hoping for the best. All is not lost. Did not like the recent trade with the Knicks as the Warriors.

6. I encountered the real Wilt in a doorway in Santa Monica.
He was coming out and I was going into an upscale Italian deli. He wore no shirt. The tallest guy I have ever seen. I got out of his way after our near collision.
