Well, LeBron is only going to get better and he does have 6-7 (at least) more great years ahead of him.  This Heat team proved how good they are when they really play.  If they stay healthy, 3 or 4 more titles will be expected.  I could see a lot of other players coming to play with them as well - like all the veterans that went to LA recently.  I wouldn't be surprised if Nash ends up with the Heat - how scary would that be!!??

The Thunder are going to get better but so are the Heat.

Well, there are other options to Howard that would work, but otherwise you're correct.  Wade's game requires the kind of dynamic athleticism that just won't last much longer.  And that'll hurt them for a couple years since they probably won't be able to get rid of him, but he'll turn into a liability fast.

While there is moderate concern about Wade's health and/or deterioration in the coming years, he's just 30 and has 4 years left on the contract.  I think he will be fine and remain very productive.  He won't be a liability, and with LeBron, they'll be ok...

He's no James Harden, but....
