Wade don't want to end up like Kobe who wasted the last 4 years of his NBA Career.

Wade would be great in the Shumpert role, but JR Smith is more valuable to this Cavs team than Wade would be.

[TheWinningFam]

Lebron helped wade get his 3 rings, it would only be fair for him to return the favor and help his best friend cement himself as the GOAT.

No way he comes to Cleveland. Dude is due for long last big contract.

NBA is seriously better than ever. The drama is fantastic.

Cavs vs. Warriors.

In 30 years people will talk about the Cavs/Warriors rivalry of the late 2010's.

Wade is not leaving Miami and everyone knows it. The Cavs can't afford him anyway.

[D-Wait]

After 2010 I never count out anything Lebron and Wade might do. Maybe Lebron is pissed about Durant's decision and decides to take a huge pay cut for Wade? On top of that maybe they could unload Shump's contract? I don't think it will ultimately happen, but you never know with LBJ and Wade.

yeah. plus he wants to get paid. theres no way Cleveland can pay him close to the amount that we can offer

[aj1987]

please dont. Wade
I doubt he would give up ~$20M to chase rings in Cleveland of all places.

[GrapeApe]

Why are you so concerned about Wade leaving??

I've said on multiple occasions that I don't think he's leaving. If I was legit concerned I would just come out and say it. I've said all along that I expect Wade and the Heat to reach an agreement.

[Lebron23]

LBJ is going to take another paycut. He's a good friend to Wade. Relationships are important.

[Papaya Petee]

damn, he's 34 tho :(

He still averaged what? 20/5/5 in 30MPG last season?
22 PPG in the playoffs.

He would be a 14-17 PPG a game guy in Cleveland on 28-32MPG anyway.

Would be insanity.

[Finn T-Mac]

Would be great but not happening :rockon: Wade is going to get his money in Miami + Heat need JR more for his 3 point shooting

[bobopenguin]

lol lebron needs more help!

[Meticode]

I'd be blown away if Wade did this. I think this would ruin his reputation with all 11 Heat fans.

Realistically though I don't want this to start happening. The league is already watered down enough with mediocre teams. Personally I would take sacrificing championship wins for a more competitive league. Sad part is Boston started the train moving by star players semi-forcing trades to Boston, then LeBron cemented it with the planned scenario.

[aj1987]

That's still about 4 more than Cavs fans though. :cheers:

Well Cleveland can't get anywhere in the ballpark of $20 million. Gilbert would have to gut the team with trades and LeBron would have to take a $5+ million dollar pay cut just make it realistic.

[D-Wait]

If this all has any legs, I just hope this move would not be at the expense of not signing JR. He clearly fits the starting lineup much better than Wade and currently plays better D.

Yep. As I said earlier, LeBron has to take a ~$20M over the next two seasons for this to work. I don't see Wade giving up that much at this point of his career. IMO, he'll take the $40M/2 yrs the Heat are offering him.

You didn't watch the PO's, did you?

Heck, even stats back up my point. JR was a net negative defender in the PO's. Players shot 46.5% against him, compared to their usual 45.2%. Wade, on the other hand, held his defensive covers to 41.1%, compared to their usual 43.6%. You really can't be serious comparing Wade to JR. Wade literally was just the best player on a 48 win team and carried them to G7 against a 56 win Raptors, in the ECSF. 21/6/4/1/1 on 46% in the PO's.

Wade is inconsistent in the playoffs.

How do we know he will play like he did in 2016, and not the 2013 and 2014 Wade in the playoffs?

They will have to take that risk if they want to pull off the most improbable championship win in the history of sports since last year.

I know that Wade is the better player in a vacuum. I should have clarified that I see JR as a better fit in the starting lineup because of his 3-point shot and the fact that he doesn't need the ball to be effective. (With Lebron and Kyrie being so ball-dominant) As far as his defense goes, I remember him getting burned by Derozan in the ECF. I was thinking of his defense on Klay though.

What are you even arguing though? JR is inconsistent AF and that's just a fact. Wade is still an All-Star level player and was the best player on a 48 win team. JR at his PEAK wasn't close to being on that level.

Wade to Cleveland is not going to happen. He might have been on that plane because Lebron is his buddy, that's it. Wouldn't make any sense at all to me. Cleveland doesn't need another guy that needs the ball in his hands and Wade will most likely end his career in Miami anyway.

Wade wants more money. Lebron is all about getting his friends and teammates paid so I can absolutely see him helping Wade with leverage.

Pat Riley is smart, you don't want to offer a huge thank you contract to a guy that can break down any minute and has nothing else to prove, but Wade has been there since day 1 over good and bad times.

Tough situation. The 20 mill a year for 2 years is not a bad deal but if wade feels he can get more years (3-4 years) and more overall money, I'm not mad at him. It's his retirement check.

I find it funny that people think a soon to be 35 year old bball players manin focus is still money.


Lets remember wade and LeBron BOTH have 3 rings now.....im almost certain wade isn't too jovial about that....lets remember athletes are arguably the most competitive people on the planet.

Do people really think wade will take the 2yr/40 mill to waste his final 2 years on a average team??

Last year showed us that wade still has about a half tank of gas left....what he did in Game 6 against the hornets was nothing short of BREATHTAKING.

Wade isn't dumb...why waste the little bit of gas you have left on a team that ISNT contending and you will be required to do SOME heavy lifting or go to team up with LEBRON,KYRIE AND LOVE and possibly be the answer to what just transpired with Durant joining the warriors and possibly extend your career for ANOTHER contract. Im just saying

[L.Kizzle]

Wade just gonna leave Chris Bosh?

[Meticode]

Rumors are swirling that the Cavs are in early talks with how to try to acquire Wade. Some ideas thrown around is Love would have to get traded for someone of less value to fill his role, almost all Cavs fans are against this (including me). Also there would be a good possibility Frye and Shumpert would have to get moved, which tehy easily could because they're contracts are good and they have a ton of basketball left in them.

Also most certainly LeBron and Wade would have to take pay cuts. Which seems kind of weird considering Wade has made it clear he wants to get paid after getting low-balled by Miami at around $10 million, then they offered $40 more for two years.

[Meticode]

No one knows if Bosh is even going to be able to play anymore honestly. They have to figure out how he can play with blood thinners. Which is dangerous to begin with.

The Cavs won't sign Wade for sure. Trading Love for an good defensive PF, who can shoot the occasional 3 might not be a bad idea for the Cavs though.

[r15mohd]

Giving up JR for Wade is a step back to me - JR provides a lot of flexibility for the Cavs with his range, and the Cavs have 2 great playmakers in Lebron and Kyrie. Wade isn't really needed on this team outside of a bench role to sure up the second unit, as I wouldn't even switch JR in the starting lineup for Wade since it allows the spacing more so than Wade could provide

Guys like Speights and Barbosa, ironically, would fit the team better rather than Wade would overall IMO

[tmacattack33]

I don't like it.

Wade was never a good fit for Lebron. Both can't shoot and both need the ball. Go get Kawhi or something.

Lebron and Wade are apparently best friends, but they must realize this.

LeBatard was on ESPN radio and said he's concerned about Wade leaving. Wade has no communication with the Heat at the moment and on the Cavs side we are hearing nothing from them as if they're working on something behind the scenes.

"The Dwyane Wade problems are real. The relationship with the Heat has never been in a most dangerous place." - @LeBatardShow

More Le Batard: "Dwyane Wade doesn't trust the Miami Heat. All this drama was happening while he was on vacation with... Lebron James."

"We're close to the breaking point. I've heard no indication that Wade has rejected the Miami offer. If he does, Miami has nowhere to go."

"Wade wants the Kobe contract, and i don't think the Heat will go for that."

"Wade's camp is looking to manipulate the situation. Wade's not talking to the Heat. There's not a back and forth."

Durant going to Golden State is changing the NBA. I think if Durant didn't go to the Warriors Wade wouldn't even be talking to the Cavs right now.

JR is not leaving. LeBron is besically his agent. If LeBron wants DWade then he has to take pay cut and then sign max next year.

KLove is not leaving too. No way they would sacrifice KLove for 35yo Wade.

The matchup just wasn't working for the Cavs with love during the finals, and there was also the concussion woes - and that happens, just look at how the dubs replaced Bogut last year and got them the title.

Love has been pretty solid outside of this, overall - he's not a bad player for this team, but it just leaves the question -- will he step up for another finals meeting, or is it best to just part ways in hopes another player can be most beneficial?

No I think JR comes back it would be more like giving up Shump for Wade.. I rather have JR as well cause he stretches D for Irving and but Wade when Healthy is a better playmaker and obviously better in transition and attacking defense plus better passer. With that said Wade makes them better team if most they were losing was Shumpert.

Lebron will not stand pat he is gonna bring in the reinforcements whether its Wade or to Trade Love to better compliment team or both..

[Meticode]

The fact we've heard nothing out of the Cavs, that LeBron hasn't resigned yet and Wade isn't communicating with the Heat tells me they're probably trying to work out the logistics of it actually happening.

same team is not winning man, not with Golden State getting Durant.
At this point its a lock we facing Golden State in finals, the goal is to adjust to golden state.Even if it might cost us in the other matchups in east.But we are making thru anyway in east.

[highwhey]

is it really worth to get wade if love and fry are moved? the guy is 34. what were his stats last year?

i feel that for the cost plus the players that will be moved, wade isn't a great value...he may be for a year or 2, but what about when he's 36?

I've learned something. Anything can happen. Even I thought the Cavs being down 3-1 would lose. It didn't happen. This team with Durant hasn't' even stepped on the court yet. We don't know what injuries will occur, who the team is going to mesh together, who is going to take less shots and be okay with it.

[highwhey]

the way i see it, the cavs roster will have to be skinned/trimmed to accommodate wade's salary. the roster as it stands, is/was already barebones when you factor in the performances during the playoffs...kyrie being the exception.

trimming it down further for a 34 year old guard?

idk...:(

We might be attractive place to take in another star by that time or maybe not. But basketball is played in the now, I am thinking next year not 3 years later. 3 years later Lebron is 34.

i just think the cavs should be seeking pieces to make the team a more well rounded team - something that lebron has never had but been successful despite the fact. however, the gsw will be a new beast that lebron has never encountered. being guard/permiter heavy sounds good on paper, but who knows.

are there any centers on the market? any elite defenders?

what does wade provide that kyrie doesn't?

Dwyane Wade has canceled some free agent meetings with teams he'd set up with this week, sources said.


Well. We will know what's going on sooner than later.

[Nike D'Antoni]

i just think the cavs should be seeking pieces to make the team a more well rounded team - something that lebron has never had but been successful despite the fact. however, the gsw will be a new beast that lebron has never encountered. being guard/permiter heavy sounds good on paper, but who knows.

are there any centers on the market? any elite defenders?

what does wade provide that kyrie doesn't?


Wade not for Kyrie, but for JR.
My post from the other thread.
JR is better 3 point shooter then Wade, but Wade is the superior player in attacking the rim. Against Golden State you need the second, not the first. Golden State dont have rim protection, so you gotta abuse them there. Shooting 3s is playing to Golden State hands.


This will make Cavs worse maybe in other series out East, but Cavs are making the finals in the east without JR or Wade.

do people on here pull shit out their ass at the drop of a hat here??

jr isn't going naywhere...it will be SHUMPERT IF WADE DECIDES TO JOIN THE CAVS.

SECOND who the fucc told you wade is better at getting to the rim than jr???? if anything its a wash.....you want a player like wade because of his IQ and because he is a leader and a winner.....that's what wade has that jr lacks...not driving to the damn rim...did you watch the cavs play any last season?

LeBatard is going f*cking nuts. :oldlol:


Dan Le Batard - Risk that Milwaukee or Denver has a prearranged deal with Cleveland to sign Wade and trade him to Cleveland after December 15th

[VengefulAngel]

LeBatard is going f*cking nuts. :oldlol:

I actually had the same thought when the Bucks signed Delly without any consideration of matching.

To be honest I want D wade to be a heat lifer but also would really love to see the dynamic between Wade, Kyrie and Lebron.

It makes me hate Durant's decision even more. I don't think we're even discussing Wade to Cleveland if Durant goes anywhere else, but Golden State.

[Nash]

why would Cavs want Wade?
another ball handler, aged 34?

and why would Wade want to leave Miami and all of the millions they can offer him?

If Wade wants to compete and get paid, he should join the Spurs.

The answer to all your questions is LeBron.

[Meticode]

Also some reports are saying Wade is still on vacation in Spain and hasn't left. He even Snapchatted while still in Spain.

Damn...wade on the spurs? Would he buy into the system tho?

whats with all this lifer shit?? like whats the honor in wasting your last years on a team that's not competing for rings?? I don't get some of you people....its like we despise people for wanting to win and joining "SUPER TEAMS" then we despise people for not winning but HEY HE WAS A LIFER. SMH

to my knowledge the heat don't have one lifer yet...wade would be the first....I really don't see an honor in that..heat still aren't A household franchise and once wade retires south beach will be a destination for spring breakers and young ball players to go and get laid after each game. Nobody took Miami seriously until they got shaq...wade happened to be a very good player that was lucky enough to build a friendship with arguably the greatest player of the 21st century...wade doesn't build that friendship with bron and the heat are still looking at that one lonely ring from 06. FACTS

[Meticode]

Take this with a grain of salt, but Austin Carr's son has been posting on Facebook about this and he says a deal has been done to get Wade to the Cavs. :oldlol:

Seems as if these reports are false. Still doesn't rule out him joining Cleveland but these timeline of events aren't correct.

Oh yea, I'm fully expecting him to sign with Miami. I'm just having fun.

[VengefulAngel]

Haha all good, the fact that Cleveland could add a player of the caliber of Wade and still not be favourites having won the title the year before tells you how ridiculous it was that Durant joined the Warriors. I was thinking that it would be almost impossible to hand pick a better team without using any members on the GSW.

[Nash]

The answer to all your questions is LeBron.
yeah, the only thing lebron can do about this is take the min vet, let Wade get 2 year 50m deal before Lebron gets his 200m deal.

I could throw something together using another 3-5 PGs like CP3, Irving, Westbrook ect SG Harden, Lebron , Davis, KAT

[Hotlantadude81]

NBA is seriously better than ever. The drama is fantastic.

Cavs vs. Warriors.

In 30 years people will talk about the Cavs/Warriors rivalry of the late 2010's.

What a time.

All you have to do is watch the finals. The rest is worthless.

[Meticode]

:rockon:

[chazzy]

If Wade signs for the minimum or something, that's almost just as much of a bitch move as what Durant did. At least KD signed for his market value and GS had to drop Barnes Bogut and Ezeli to get him. Wade copping out for the min after all this drama about not getting enough money in Miami would be hilarious :oldlol:

[Meticode]

Really weird shit is going on. Windy posted the story about Wade wanting $50 million, but Miami is only offering $40 million. Then after this story was posted the Cavaliers official Tweeter feed followed Wade, then Wade followed the Cavs on Instagram. :oldlol:

Too Much Smoke not to be fire.. It started IMO with his Cryptic message yesterday after KD joined Warriors saying "Relationships are important people" to me that was first sign of something may be brewing.

[Meticode]

:oldlol: People on RCF said "Windy said it won't happen, which means it will happen." :roll:

[Meticode]

Now Wade has followed J.R. Smith on Instagram. :oldlol:

[Meticode]

Either something is happening, or LeBron and Wade got together to troll Miami to force them to make him a higher offer. :lol

[Meticode]

They official Cleveland Indians Twitter account followed Wade. :oldlol:

[PJR]

Wade's my favorite player of all time, and I believe the Heat should move on at this point.


Josh Richardson and Justise Winslow are the future. Wade's not getting that Kobe deal in Miami. Sorry bud.

[Magic 32]

Stay Wade.

Be part of the previous generation. Kobe, Duncan and Dirk.

Don't become a mercenary like the next gen.



(And I don't even think he is going make that big of a difference for the Cavs chances).

[inclinerator]

wade is old as fk

[PJR]

Too late. LeBron has Wade's ear. He's become the diva I feared.


Riley will move on if he has to.

What are you talking about? Warriors guareented next 5 chips. Who cares what Wade gets paid?

[Trollsmasher]

Bron and Wade are probably still sitting on that boat in Spain and having a giggle over idiots tracking planes and followers on twitter:lol

[Kingwillball]

Not saying its happening but getting Wade for Cavs In finals would be problem for GS cause Steph would have to guard KI all the Time or if they switched Klay on KI, Wade would abuse Steph in Post.

[Nike D'Antoni]

Wade can sign with Nuggets, and via sign & trade come to the Cavs.
We got trade exception or we can throw Shumpert.

[chazzy]

Can't trade right away

Fantasies.

[KingPush]

People saying they don't have money for wade but Lebron has a ****ing billion dollar deal with Nike. He can take a pay cut so Wade can get paid

Wade's broken down and a shell of his former self. He'll help the Cavs, but he isn't going to improve them that much.

He will be here in cleveland for the finals, he knows it and he wants to play finals. not waste time in regular season.

[DMAVS41]

He's better than Shump...worse than JR Smith for the Cavs.

Did you not see him vs Charlotte? Dude looked better than his last few years in Miami

I hate how people overreact to a couple games.

You have to look at his entire season to gauge where he really is at.

So averaging 25/6/4 vs Toronto isnt anything special either? Dude was clearly coasting during the regular season

[aj1987]

defensive PF who can shoot the occasional 3?? Who would that be? :roll:
Ideal would be Bosh (hypothetically), but you're right. There's literally no one.

If there's ever even a tiny AF bit of chance, they should trade for Millsap.


Too late. LeBron has Wade's ear. He's become the diva I feared.


Riley will move on if he has to.
I wouldn't be mad either ways, but I prefer Wade chasing money instead of titles.

[D-Wait]

If there's ever even a tiny AF bit of chance, they should trade for Millsap.

And they won't. They not gonna trade a 27 year old, more offensively polished player on a good contract for Millsap on the wrong side of 30, even if he would be a defensive upgrade.

[aj1987]

Millsap is an elite defender and would be a significantly better fit. Love is just wrong on this team. I like the dude and I've always supported him, but this is not the team for him. In fact, Love would be AMAZING on the Jazz.

19/4/5/1/1 on 47% in the RS 21/4/5/1/1 on 47% in the PO's with good defense. Dude was unbelievable in the PO's. Clutch AF and carried the team to G7 of the ECSF.

[D-Wait]

yeah, I'm not against a Love trade. I also wanted to sign Millsap in Free Agency in 2013, I really like him. I just think the Cavs will not break up this core with Love being only 27 still having a long career ahead of him.

Agreed. It's just my opinion. I believe Millsap is a significantly better FIT on this team than Love. :cheers:

[RRR3]

Millsap would be amazing in Cleveland. Heat will take Love off the Cavs hands. 3 team trade. Atlanta can have Dragic

I know, that's what I was thinking. :oldlol: If that were to happen man, Rich Paul is so sly. He's been telling teams LeBron is staying with the Cavs.
