big boi posted:Who the hell is going to shoot threes for the Cavs until IT gets back, if Wade is a starter? Love being the sole reliable guy behind the arc, combined with the Wade and James reunion tour, would kill this idea of bringing back Minnesota Love. I imagine Wade's role will be less about scoring and more about helping distribute the ball and trying to play defense. What's he going to average like 12-14 ppg? Can he still play defense? I didn't watch much Bulls last year. I'm thinking maybe on guards that aren't ultra quick if he isn't putting too much energy out on offense. When the Cavs are finally healthy, Wade will be at best the 4th option on offense. Maybe even 6th after JR and Crowder. big boi posted:Who the hell is going to shoot threes for the Cavs until IT gets back, if Wade is a starter? Love being the sole reliable guy behind the arc, combined with the Wade and James reunion tour, would kill this idea of bringing back Minnesota Love. Kevin Love, Kyle Korver, Jae Crowder, JR Smith, LeBron James, Richard Jefferson, Channing Frye, Shump, and the ghost of Jose Calderon. If Wade is starting it really does ruin any logical starting 5 they should roll out with. Maybe it would be a situation where he is subbed out quickly. You are right, out of the starters the 3 point shooting would be grim. I'd only want LeBron or Love taking 3s. Spacebump fucked around with this message at 04:17 on Sep 25, 2017 |

My friend, there is no way Wade is taking a 25 million dollar paycut to play defense. Once the playoffs come, sure, until then, forget it. He wants to be DWAYYYNY WADE. He can't do that in Miami, he's the antithesis of everything they're doing. Can he do it in SAn Antoni, I think that Popovich would give him leeway and Parker is now a Ginobli rest schedule player, so there's time for another part time guard. There's a big playmaking and scoring gap for the cavs since IT is hurt. It would be an 85% shot at another finals, which might be something he cares about. Just by my guesses about his personality, his wants and desires, and assuming this list of three plus one is somwhat real, I would guess about 70/30 Cleveland over San Like Melo, we need to recalibrate our expectacion, Wade on full minutes is a sometimes great mostly decent shot creator and maker. If you want star quality, you can only play him about 60% of the time Dejan Bimble fucked around with this message at 05:34 on Sep 25, 2017 |

Wade was the Big 3 Heat player I hated the most, but I wouldn't mind him on the Spurs at all. I can't see him going anywhere but Cleveland though. Screw it, Spurs aren't making it past the 2nd round anyway. Dwyaynye Waydye, come on down!

The Bulls are going to be awful. The B_36 posted:...I think [Wade] still has another season or two of being a potent weapon for a contender if he wants it. EvanTH posted:If it were a playoff game you'd still want Wade over most of the league's 2 guards. His regular season play is deceptive I'm skeptical as Wade was mediocre in the 2014 finals and now it's four years later. Spacebump posted:Can he still play defense? I didn't watch much Bulls last year. At times but there were games where he was gassed in the first quarter.

Trying to reach deep to think of any actual upside to signing Dwayne Wade for the 2018 season. All I can think of is that if the Cavs sign him he might actually have the healthiest legs of any back court addition they have made this off-season.

Wade has been garbage recently, so has Melo. I do not think either of these players significantly improve your team unless they miraculously start playing defense. I don't even know what the gently caress the Spurs would do with Wade. He'd be the third SG on the roster.

I think Melo is still a useful player if he isn't/doesn't try to be the first option on offense. He shoots something like 40% on catch-and-shoot 3's. Wade's just washed up at this point and I look forward to him making the Cavs a 44 win team.

Wade is still a decent enough shot creator on offense and he's still getting steals and rebounds. If Wade goes to Cleveland I think you'll see him play PG a lot with the 2nd unit. I really don't think they should start him though, the spacing seems problematic.

I was camping all weekend with no service, so this is super late, but MELO IS GONE. Thank god! Also  at the people saying it was a bad deal for the Knicks. Trading Melo for a bag of peanuts is a good deal. Good riddance.

Dejan Bimble posted:My friend, there is no way Wade is taking a 25 million dollar paycut to play defense. Once the playoffs come, sure, until then, forget it. Small point but I think he only gave back 8 million to Chicago, so he still gets 15 million to not play for the Bulls this year. That sounds like quite a bargain. To be honest, I guess I give the Bulls credit because that is a lower price tag on the buyout than I would have expected.

Spacebump posted:Edit: I am all for Wade murdering second units and JR starting for his shooting. That would own I think you guys are both drastically over-rating JR's shooting, and his overall ability to play basketball. Wade wasn't great in Chicago, but that's only compared to his previous 14yrs in the league when he was a top 10 player - he's still at worst an average player. JR Smith is fun and all, but he's never been very good, and last year he was pretty awful. 35% 3pt shooting from a supposed "shooter" shouldn't justify you starting over even an average player. The Cavs may be better off with Wade off the bench in limited minutes to kill 2nd units, but it's not because JR's shooting is so valuable that you need him starting. He'd be the default starter if they decide to go that route with Wade. With a fully healthy team, the Cavs offense would run thru Lebron, IT, and then Wade. Love is better now than Wade, but his play style means he doesn't need the ball and can be the release valve for the other 3 guys. There's no way they run the offense thru JR Smith or Jae Crowder before Wade if he's on the court, that's craziness.

Last year JR was dealing with his daughter and missed a bunch of the season where I assume he wasn't staying game sharp. I''m willing to be last year was more of an aberration and he'll be more like his regular self. That's not a great player, but its still a good shooter and a better man-defender than Wade.
