An owner of the Miami Heat in NBA 2K12 doesn’t have to do too much to get the franchise in position to compete for an NBA title. In the video game world this truly is a Dream Team, but that doesn’t mean the roster is good enough as is, even with the Shane Battier signing.

Here are a few moves that can be made to set the Heat up for greatness, this season and beyond.

This is ironic.

Anyway, the only move I don't like from that article is trading Mike Miller for JJ Reddick. Only because I don't think any team in their right mind would take old, injury prone MM for young JJ Reddick.

DirtyNeedles · 12-23-2011, 11:44 AM

you would even contemplate a trade of wade/bosh for old *** kobe/artest and sign gilbert arenas who has bad knees? lol if this was nba 2k5 these trades would look great too bad its nba 2k12

did u know if you include wade in the reddick deal and add in d12
the heat break the bulls record of single season wins by 2 going 74 - 8
thats all simmed as well

fun article,
but instead of getting reddick, I would have made a move for Korver.
I would have nevere considered the Kobe trade.
and insteda of getting ANderson, I would have gone for a more verstaile big man. one who could play both the center and pf position.
based on this game and not reality, a good virtual alternative wouldbe Chris Wilcox.
Wilcox has been a solid backup in the 2k series for the paste several years.

No moves really need to be made for this team.

Only move I would consider is trying to package Mario Chalmers for someone like DeJuan Blair, Robin Lopez, Darko Milicic, or Cole Aldrich. Not because I don't like Chalmers, I love the way he plays in real-life and I hope he is on the Heat for his entire career as one of our main guys, but I suck with him a lot in the game for some reason.

Otherwise, this team is set as I am great with Haslem, Miller, House, Cole, and Joel Anthony is a big-time shot blocker and energy player. Also, with the additions of Battier and Curry, it'd be pretty hard for me to not win a title with this team.

I'll put it this way:

Last year's Miami Heat team made it to the finals without an elite point guard and without an elite center. Defensive principles got them that far.

Trading defense for offense is going backwards in the eyes of Miami.

So, to me, these trades are moving backwards.

ATLMIATEX · 12-23-2011, 02:54 PM

i traded Chalmers and Haslem for Emeka Okafor from New Orleans, he is a GREAT rebounder while playing games. he averaged 12.2 rebs-a-game of the games I played, only with 8.7pts though, the Heat dont really need a scorer at all. I also signed Arenas , It was a good move. got 13.3pts 3.5rebs and 5.9asts, good PG. Wade:26.6pts 4.8rebs 6.1asts.Bosh:20.5pts 10.1rebs 2.1asts.James:27.2pts 7.7rebs 7.5asts.Okafor 8.7pts 12.2rebs 1.1asts.Arenas 13.3pts 3.5rebs 5.9asts.Battier 8.1pts 3.8rebs 3.1asts 48% 3ptr. But I couldn't stop D-Rose until game 7. then beat OKC 4-2 in the Finals.

The Heat only need to make 1 move if any at all. That would be to get a big body that can bang, and rebound, and maybe a good sixth man. They may have that with Battier. Haslim seems like he is a shell of his former self. Then again he was injured last year.

If Bron would have showed up in the finals then they more then likely would have won it all.
