I much preferred Mid-Beach and North-Beach to South Beach. South Beach was pretty trashy :lol: Even if you aren't staying there, the Fontainebleau is a cool spot to hangout. We were with a 3 month old when we went, so I don't have any suggestions on after dinner places....

[quote]But Lebron is going to put serious pressure on the FO [/quote] Do you still have the power to put pressure on the front office when you are 40 years old and can't get out of the first round? They would be foolish to trade a pick 6 years away to try to win a championship with a 40 year old...

If Russell walks they don't really have a way to replace him, outside of the TPE. Are they really going to throw away their future (1st round picks in 27, 29, and 31) to attempt to win a championship with a 40 year old LeBron that can't get out of the play-in with a healthy AD next to him?...
