But the reason I made the statement I made in the first place, was due to the styles of play of those players and where they'd match up better.
Truth to be told, I'm taking my fandom out of it when I say the best-case scenario played out. To take it even further, the Heat lost. So not only was there drama all season long, a lot of basketball fans are celebrating.

LeBron staying and Wade joining the Bulls would have been big but it still wouldn't have equaled what we've seen this season in terms of sports theater.

I agree with your final point though.
