Wade took over the reigns in the post-season, buf Shaq was most certainly the regular season MVP.
Be awarded a league MVP for 15/11 is a joke, regardless.
The Heat amnestied Miller because they were looking at 30 million in luxury tax payments over the next two seasons, for what was essentially a 10th man. Had nothing to do with Oden.
And how exactly is that going to happen?
