I think it would be the clippers so he will have playing time and also they need more of a polished person behind the energetic play of griffin. I dont think Antonio would want to be a cheerleader on a winning team such as miami. If not he will go to a team with a good coach that he respects like his old team the spurs,nuggets,nets or even philly with doug collins.

Yeah, I forgot about OKC. Another good possibility to add to the list.

This is basically my Heat philosophy:

- I like the Heat because I love watching great basketball. No team collectively plays better, more fun to watch offense or defense than the Heat right now. On offense, their passing is so precise, they are all unselfish and they’re incredibly efficient. On defense, they murder teams in passing lanes and turn steals into buckets maybe as fast as any team ever. Just incredible to watch.

- I don’t think any of the big three are necessarily the best people in the world, but they’re far, far from the worst sort of villains they’ve been made out to be, particularly Lebron. By star professional athlete standards (and let’s be honest … most star athletes would probably not be the greatest people to hang out with), they’re fine. They all certainly have egos, but I don’t consider any of their three stars more arrogant than others who have reached that level of stardom. And they all certainly do good things off the court, don’t do things that are illegal, etc. I have no justifiable reason to dislike any of them.

That’s totally fair. I love the Pistons but James and Paul are my favorite players in the league. So if Detroit can’t compete, I have to settle for rooting for whatever teams they are on.

It’s not that the “team” per say is bad. It’s more the players. I just don’t feel that I want to cheer for someone who took the easy way out to win championships. Regardless of how exciting they are to watch. Same with any team that is favored to win. I automatically cheer for them to lose (unless its my beloved pistons) because thats why they play the game. That’s just my spin on it. I always want the little guy to win.
Now if the heat came out and struggled the first 2 years and weren’t a “super team” then I would most definitely root for the 3 friends to win a ‘ship together. Just given what I said earlier, I can’t root for those super teams that are favored to win.

he should go to okc not only r they my fav team but last year they seriously showed heart in the playoffs and the finals, besides he can work out with serge ibaka to work more on this offense he probably will also be a good fit with the lakers now that they recruited some big names and are favorites to win a championship

San Antonio tried to do the same thing with Jason Kidd that Miami successfully did with LeBron James. How is one team more worthy of rooting for than the other (in other words, how is one team more of a “bad guy” than the other)?

I would prefer to see Antonio McDyess rejoin the Spurs and then see that team win a title than see him go to Miami but I’d be rooting for him wherever he went. One of my favorite players ever.

If he does go to Miami I hope he can accidentally knock Dwyane Wade out with an errant elbow.

Would absolutely love him to sign with the Heat for this purpose. Same goes for Ben.

The sad thing is that a 38 year old McDyess would give us more production than CV right now. I’m sorry i shouldn’t even mention the 2 in the same sentence.
