Dwyane Wade to the Cavs for 1-year, $2.3M

what did wade do to you breh?

It's funny you should say that since I've been accused of being a Wade stan many a time on this board. This has nothing to do with my like/dislike of a player, I don't know why this board continues to think that arguing for/against a player's ability, fit or career is always based on emotion.

lue already said rose is starting while IT is out

I'm well aware of that, but Wade and Rose in the backcourt won't work on this team. It's a recipe for disaster. One will have to come off the bench.

well this is why people have been saying he shouldve gone to OKC

the cavs have a lot of talent, that just doesnt seem to fit together on both ends.

I think a lot of ya'll are missing the most important part of this signing. Cavs finally have someone who can tell Bron to sit his ass down and shut up sometimes, and he'll listen.

Yes, he was useless. He picked and chose when to play defense all throughout the regular and postseason. I saw it with my own eyes. Now obviously I don't expect him to be a lockdown-type defender with the offensive load he has to carry at this stage of his career, but he did a horrible job at balancing effort on both sides of the floor. He took possessions off regularly on defense and folk were saying he's just pacing himself for the playoffs - well [not] funnily enough nothing changed in the playoffs either. It was just a bunch of the same shyt.

No, he was not useless. Like I said he played well defensively in the Indiana and Toronto series.

“LeBron does a great job of roaming.”

-Kyle Lowry on LeBron's off-ball defense

His awareness will be vital against the Cavaliers, who often use LeBron James as something of a defensive rover, hiding on the weak side or in the paint to pick off passes or lend some assistance on drives. It’s similar to what DeRozan saw from Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo but more varied.

“Giannis has the length, it seemed like if he were standing in the middle of the paint he would be touching sideline to sideline,” DeRozan said. “The thing about LeBron is something may look open and he’ll come out of nowhere for a steal.

“Giannis you knew he was there so you just had to make that right pass. With LeBron it’s going to be a matter of understanding that a passing lane may look good and he can come out of nowhere and get a deflection or a steal or anything.”

Getting rid of the ball, and avoiding James’s ability to pounce on lazy or ill-advised passes will once again a key for the Raptors.

-DeMar DeRozan on LeBron's off-ball defense

He also held DeRozan to 4 of 13 (30%) and two turnovers in isolation situations.

"LeBron is a very good off-the-ball defender, he roams and he gets his guys in place. He can be back there like a free safety-linebacker reading. He does a great job of doing that. I'm not surprised they went with J.R."

-Nate McMillan on LeBron's off-ball defense

He held George to 8 of 20 (40%) and four turnovers in isolation situations. He was a beast particularly in game 2 where he racked up 4 blocks and 4 steals, the Cavs had a team defensive rating of 116 in that game while LBJ was only at 102.
