Can Chris Bosh give up the leadership role to new teammate Dirk Nowitzki to make a run at the title?

Utensils Forecast:
On paper the Utensils may have the best team after the draft, but they still have to play the games. But the roster can PLAY the games. Chris Bosh may still be the leader of this team, but Dirk Nowitzki might be the MVP. If Michael Redd can return to form, he will join Paul Pierce to provide the scoring needed to take the Utensils to a division title. If the injury bug may bite and then it will be up to Dirk to carry this team on.
