If Shaq stayed...
Miami is good but not great this year but what might have happened had Shaquille O'Neal stayed in Miami? Shaq is turning back the clock a bit and putting up solid numbers while Dwyane Wade is reminded everyone why he was once considered as good, if not better, than LeBron James. Where would Miami be if the Dynamic Duo was together again.
The first change would be that they probably wouldn't have Michael Beasley. However, even with Shaq for the rest of the season, I doubt that they Heat would have been that good. It's impossible to guess what would have happened with the ping pong balls but the Heat would be scary if they grabbed OJ Mayo with their pick. Kevin Love might be an interesting big man tandem with Shaq. Even someone like Eric Gordon would be an interestin addition. The Heat could still have Mario Chalmers as they acquired him with cash and second rounders.
So what about Chalmers, Wade, Love, and Shaq? Personally, I think they are a lock for the fourth seed and perhaps threaten the Magic. They're bench would still be weak but with the way that Shaq and Wade are playing right now, I'm very happy that the original Superman is in the West and not playing second fiddle to DWade.
