The Miami Heat made a huge splash in the NBA free-agent market this past summer signing three superstars all at the same time. Not only did Heat GM Pat Riley get his hands on arguably one of the best players in the league today in LeBron James, but he was also able to re-sign Dwyane Wade and get his hands on All-Star forward Chris Bosh.
If this was an amazing feat to say the least is no team in recent memory has been able to land free of legitimate superstars at the same time. The Boston Celtics with the one team that were able to get three big names on the roster a couple of years ago in Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen, but that was pale in comparison to what the Miami Heat were able to accomplish.

Obviously, the Boston Celtics have an NBA title that the one back in 2009 to show for their efforts, but some people believe the Miami Heat could be in for multiple championships over the next 10 years as a result of what they have done.
Ironically enough, Miami Heat haven’t stopped looking for big names to add to their roster as they might sign one more this season in the form of point guard Mike Bibby. Recently Mike Bibby was playing for the Atlanta Hawks and do a pretty good job of it, but he ended up being traded to the Washington Wizards before the NBA trade deadline and now has reportedly been bought out by the team.
In the beginning, this looked like it could be the beginning of the end for Mike Bibby’s career in the NBA as landing with the Washington Wizards is about as bad as it gets these days. Fortunately, the team was willing to buy him out and one of the few teams interested in his services is the Miami Heat.
With Bibby in the backcourt, the Heat might get considerably better as they will add that veteran point guard that they have been looking for. Whether or not the Heat do sign Bibby remains to be seen, but they are definitely the frontrunner for the veteran point guard.

Along with the Miami Heat, Mike Bibby might have a few other suitors that will be looking to add him to their roster. Most of the teams are just looking for the right veteran player to help them either make a push for the playoffs or be the final piece to the championship puzzle.
The Boston Celtics might also be in the running for Bibby’s services as they are in dire need of a veteran point guard as well after trading Nate Robinson to the Oklahoma City Thunder recently. Bibby probably won’t get as much playing time with the Celtics as he would the Heat considering that Rajon Rondo might be their best all around player, but the chances of a championship this season are pretty high to say the least if he ends up in Boston.
