Cavs will be fine.. Only on the coli is adding another 20 ppg scorer to hold shyt down while lebron is on the bench an L. :russell:
Wade isn't a 20 ppg scorer anymore. Certainly not in the typical sense. It's definitely not an L, but it really doesn't help them in the areas they're in desperate need of - a player who can shoot AND defend. Wade can't even do one of those things. When I.T. comes back, Wade will be more or less redundant because they'll have Rose to lead the second unit. A Rose/Wade backcourt will only limit what they can do on both ends of the floor.

Start for the best team in the East or asked to come off the bench for Waiters on a team you used to run?

That's not a hard decision. I didn't care Heat wise when he got the buyout, knew he wasn't coming

Thats wades fault. I knew he wasnt coming off no damn bench for us no matter how good for the team it wouldve been. Im just mad bron been in his head since the big 3 and is ok with complenting bron's legacy when his was already on par with brons on his own

IT wasn't even a full time starter until the past 2 seasons. He was getting buckets off the bench in Sacramento. He actually led the Suns in scoring while coming off the bench. Even when he first came over the the Celtics, he was leading them in scoring off the bench.

never in nba history has a dude who just came off a seson averaging 30 in his prime has been asked to come off the bench once healthy and ready to play. He trying to get 200Ms

He put up 18 on 43% last year. Not good numbers but as a 3rd or 4th option and more rested in less minutes, he'll add extra scoring. The problem with Wade recently is still depending on him as a 2nd, sometimes 1st option scorer as chicago did last year with him behind Butler. As a fourth behind Bron/it/love he'll be more serviceable especially with playmaking off the bench. On defense though...yes there's some trouble

I'm not saying it won't be an improvement, I'm just saying it's going to limit what they can do on offense/defense. Having Rose/Wade out there together is hustling backwards - neither of them can shoot and neither of them can defend (although I do hope Rose upps his defensive activity this season), and both of them basically have identical styles of play.
