The Miami Heat got its man. And another man.

NBA free agency has turned into a win-win situation for Pat Riley.

Instead of losing free-agent guard Dwyane Wade, as had been the concern in recent days, the Heat will retain its All-Star guard, but also add Toronto Raptors free-agent power forward Chris Bosh.

1. Nice Move By The Heat

But it's not enough to over take Orlando and Boston with Chicago, Atlanta, and Milwaukee getting closer.

4. LeBron James expected to sign with Heat

<snip>

"LeBron James is leaning toward joining forces with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh and signing with the Heat, according to multiple media reports early Thursday morning.

"Barring a late change of heart, sources say James has decided to join Wade and Bosh," ESPN's Chris Broussard reported early Thursday morning.

New York Newsday and Yahoo.com also reported that James is expected to join the Heat.

A competing team executive in regular contact with the Heat told The Miami Herald late Wednesday night that he also expects James will sign with Miami."

5. Why even have a team in Toronto?

This is stupid.

Why not sign & trade the guy a few months ago?

Why even bother with a team in Toronto if no one ever wants to resign there...

It's a joke.
