LeBron James recruits Steve Nash and Jamal Crawford on Twitter.

MITCH BLATT

After guaranteeing the Heat would win at least 8 championships when he signed with them last year, LeBron James has now taken to Twitter to try to recruit free agents Steve Nash and Jamal Crawford to join him in Miami. As if three superstars weren’t enough to win a championship (They aren’t, as last year proved.), James now wants Nash and Crawford to help Wade drag him across the finish line. According to Juiced Sports sources working with the NBA, the negotiations that started yesterday are actually going pretty well, so LeBron may have that opportunity after all.

But if Steve Nash wants to win a championship, isn’t Miami the last place he would want to go?

A.L. Ramsey of Los That Sports Blog noticed the Tweets. He said it was a good way to bring media buzz to the NBA during the lockout, but not in a positive way for LeBron James, in my opinion. One of the objectives of the deal is apparently going to be to try to make it harder for a LeBron James-style Superteam to be created, so it is doubtful that the Heat would even have enough cap room to sign Nash.
