Miami Heat – LeBron James to PF, Chris Bosh to Center
If it works, don’t try to fix it. Playing small-ball in the NBA Finals worked pretty well for the Miami Heat, who never really relied heavily on whoever has been playing center before the switch, which means LeBron James will continue to play as the team’s power forward while Chris Bosh continues his transition into a full time center.
