ill take a paycut from say 15mil to 10mil or something alongside those lines to add another superstar to the mix
See and this is the exact reason why I feel there is a lot of bias here. Just because it's the Heat. Some of you may not be biased in your decision but a lot of you guys seem to be. This dude just said he'd do the same thing, just on another team. Same money (12 Million), same amount of superstars.
im not biased against the Heat but if im a top 6 player im not taking 2 mil/ a year to be a third or fourth option on the Heat
i rather be a 1-2 option on another team with talent and make that 12 mil a year i dont know im selfish
plus imagine the playoffs, the challenge, the excitement, the epic series

Some of ya'll seem like the type of dudes that when you pick squads during pick up ball...always try to pick the biggest/tallest players.

But this isn't a pickup game, this is years of your playing career.
"Superteams" are just players taking a more active role in their careers. Teams with a superstar and another near-superstar/great player or two will win championships. The difference between Lebron and Wade teaming up and Jordan and Pippen playing together, is one situation occurred because the management got the player, and the other occurred because the player went to another team voluntarily. Should players be forced to suffer for their careers because their GM(s) can't build a successful roster? There's always going to be teams with a superstar and great players, they just occur via trade or the draft. Those things are out of a players control, so with superteams players are taking an active role in their situation.
Not to mention, this outrageous fear of "superteams ruining the league" is absurd. The Heat have been successful. The Knicks have not. If you want to call the Clippers one then there's another.. and then wherever Dwight and Deron end up. Boston is on their way out too. BUT WHAT ABOUT ALL THE YOUNG STARS? Like Durant.. who extended with OKC.. like Rose... who stayed. Like Russ who stayed. Like Kevin Love... who stayed. Until these young stars don't extend off their rookie deals and end up in Boston or LAL all making 7 million dollars a year, I'm not worried.

Would you sacrifice millions to play with 3 great players and try to completely devour every other team in the league? Sign a 1 year, $2 Million dollar deal and give it a run?

It definitely HAS to be Heat bias. Cause with all of that laid out, including your 1st original sentence like I mentioned, I'm just not seeingOriginally Posted by SpeakUp23

Then you'd be part of a Superteam in NY. You just contradicted yourself
