Lebron guarding Perkins in the post is not a good look.
This move is as inept as mike brown having him guard rafer alston in the conference finals against Orlando while hedo and shard were shytting on them. Lebron is first team all defense for a reason
Agreed, but Perk didn't even play in the 4th that I remember. Sitting Perk and Ibaka was a nice and unexpected wrinkle from Brooks.

As great of a player as Lebron is, his skillset is not that conducive to late game situations in close games.
For a guy who's gonna have the ball in his hands:
1. His J is not great and he has even less confidence in it in the clutch. Teams will simply play him to take the jumper, which he often takes.
2. His strength of bullying to the basket and finishing is taken away against good teams who can challenge at the basket, where refs are less inclined to blow the whistle late in games.
3. His strength of drawing fouls & getting to the freethrow line is offset by his lack of confidence in his own freethrow shooting and him not really wanting to be there in those situations.
4. Dude still does't have a great back to the basket game where you can feed him on the block and he can go to work. He's still not confortable in attacking defenses in that way.
You gotta surround him with shooters, but then people would complain that he has a team of players that can't contribute other than knocking down shots & Lebron has to do everything for them.

They have to trade Wade if they lose, don't know how they can keep him around with the decline being so obvious.

I think there overlapping skillsets is a bigger contributing facter to Wade's lack of production than his overall decline. He's not at his peak for sure, but he aint the bum his production is appearing to make him.
In any case, you are correct in saying the best thing to do is to trade dude.
