And the Heat could have won with their big three if Pat Riley wasn't an overrated one who sucks the penis who chased names instead of talent. They had Patrick Beverley in house and cut him. They missed on essentially every pick they made, and Arison did not want to go over the tax, which further depleted the roster.

Again, I am pointing out that Cleveland can wait until 2015, let their Haywood $10M exception trigger, and land a quality rim protector. Gasol was just an example and is a guy I believe better complements the Cavs right now than Love.
And while you're right about the Heat, you also have to realize that the big 3 took big pay cuts. The Cavs are going to be giving max contracts to three people. The Heat gave up a few draft picks to get the Big 3. We are talking about a proposal here where the Cavs give up four #1 picks (two of them will be top 5, potentially #1 picks). And no doubt that the Heat had a lot less maneuverability to make any moves beyond the big 3. So yeah, the Big 3 the Cavs are talking about, they sure as shit better work out because it's even bigger and a shitload more expensive than the one in Miami.
