The Miami heat are a elite team both Chris Bosh and Lebron are having great seasons. That's right Bosh and LeBron not D-wade or flash as his team mates call him. D-wade was the 2006 finals MVP and a six time all star but he is hurt and may never be flash again. He's injury is called plantar fascitis (same thing as former star TE Antonio Gates) which really hurts when running and jumping. Flash also has played through it but is off he isn't shooting 3's or making the great play to deny opponents lay ups, like he could last year. With out wade in a uniform Shane Battier has value as a swing man. He (Shane Battier) is seeing increased minutes while both Nolan Smith and Mike Miller will have to pick up the pace. The Heat are still a playoff team and a legit contender without wade but that may give the Bulls and Celtics opportunities.
The Orlando Magic...........2010 NBA finalist, DH12's team......The team that both Tracy McGrady and Grant Hill played for (04), the team that Penny Hardaway and Shaq teammed up reacxh the finals. The only team to have 3 first overall picks in 20 years. Now there roster consists of Dwight Howard (DH12) and a ton of lower level starters and back ups. These players include ,2009 vince carter trade add on, Ryan Anderson, washed up swing man/scorer Larry Hughes, The Ocho Cinco of Basketball, Quentin Richardson, 2007 first round duke star, J.J Redick, former all star and scorer Jason Richardson, scoring and shooting PG Jameer Nelson, Big Baby Glen Davis, big contract and former clutch man Hedo Turkulgo, former celtic Von wafer and former knick starter turned bottom bench player, Chris Duhon and SF Journey man, Earl Clark. Not that impressive. But the team lead by Howard should be a contender. Both Ryan Anderson and Hedo Turkulugo are starters and So is former slam dunk champion Jason Richardson. The team has plenty of fantasy value in forms of Jason Richardson (mid round value Swing man), Dwight Howard (1st round star center) , Ryan Anderson (5-8 round F, hits 3's) and Jameer Nelson (PG with 14-15 points a game) the team is a lower end elite but is a contender as long as Howard is in blue. There Back court constists of Nelson, Richardson and Redick but Wafer and Duhon both see some time. There SF and PF positions are both of intrest but have limited fantasy value. After a good 2009 season Hedo Turkulgu signed in Toronto only to be traded twice landing in Orlando (again) he is a good passer but is really a below average SF. He is versatile and will probably average 10 points a game, 4 assists, 4 REB's and 1 three a game. At PF Geln Davis should be the obvious answer, wrong. Ryan Anderson has completely out played the former Celtics. Davis is good for 8 points a game as a sixth or seventh man with 5 REB's while Anderson could end up reaching 15+ points per game, 7+ REBs a game and 1.5 three's a game. At center Dwight Howard plays 40 minutes leaving 2011 first round draft pick Daniel Orton picking at scrapes.
