We would draft Jonathan Bender, resign Sebastian Telfair, and cut Darius Miles.
Jonathan Bender definitely was the worst player of the three. He played seven seasons with the Pacers and one with the Knicks. Over that time he only played in 262 games and started 28.

While the majority of other Christmas Day NBA games were close, LeBron James and the Miami Heat played the role of the Grinch in Dallas—beating the Mavs 105-94.
On the day the Mavs received their NBA Finals Championship rings, the Miami Heat looked like the team who should be hoisting a banner into their rafters. After falling to Dallas 4-2 in the NBA Finals last season, the Heat...
