Dwyane Wade trade rumors

Bluesky · by **Andrew** on Fri Jun 06, 2008 12:40 am

Assuming injuries won't continue to plague Wade, such a deal could be a coup for the Bulls but I don't see it happening. I'd suggest the Heat would rather select someone, be it Rose or Beasley, to pair up with Wade rather than trade him away to ensure that they can select one or the other.

Wade + Miami's #2 pick for Chicago #1 pick makes no sense... pretty much switch picks and throw in wade ( i believe this was the rumor, 2nd post here relates on that).. wade for #1 alone may make some sense, since he is a liability with injuries

riley said that this will not happen..

that would be robbery.... paxson would probably win the gm of the year for the next decade if he pulled this off

Wade for the #1 alone doesn't work as the Bulls don't have the cap space. If they were to actually trade for Wade they'd definitely need to clear the logjam at guard, which would work out pretty well since they've got some big contracts there that could be used in such a deal. I still don't see it happening though, I'm sure Miami would rather go with Plan B and keep Wade than make sure they get the guy they want and give up Wade to do it.

The X, trading wade wouldn't make any sence for the team! have u seen 2006 finals? if wade healthy - he is a killa, not leron not kobe didn't win 2006 title!!! and u'd like to see those moran, who supposed that miami so stupid to trade they best player ever + 2-d rounder for unknown and weak first pick?!
we can trade 2-d pick only to minny in exchange for some good player and 3-d pick, so we could pick mayo!! i'm wondering who things that the 1-st pick worth the guy like Wade, tru superstar, who can do the things wich almost nobody couldn't in this league!

by **The X** on Mon Jun 09, 2008 4:54 pm

it doesn't matter, I don't think the Bulls are silly enough to trade the number 1 pick for an injury prone player whose game relies on him throwing his body around & flopping a lot....super talented yes, & I'm a big fan of his, but I unfortunately think he's headed down the Penny Hardaway track (N)

by **diddy** on Mon Jun 09, 2008 7:14 pm

The X, 2 injuries doesn't mean that he's an injury prone player at all!! and wade's young and he'll be great again!

by **The X** on Mon Jun 09, 2008 8:17 pm

hopefully yes, unlike Penny, I actually do like Wade, outside of his flopping that is....was a great player at Marquette....

...There's also the fact that he's never played a full 82 games ever.

He has had some bad luck the last couple of years though, with the freak injury last season and then coming off surgery this season, plus he sat out the final twenty one games when it became clear the Heat weren't going anywhere except the lottery. Had he not been shut down, he probably could have played around 70 games which isn't too bad given the missed the first seven games of the year after offseason surgery.

Still, having not played more than 51 games each of the past two seasons, 61 games in his rookie year and not more than 77 games in a single season so far (though 75 and 77 games is still a pretty good percentage) does raise some concerns and questions about his durability.

but anyways wade to chicago would have to clear out half the roster (lol just kiddin but they would trade away the majority of their guards) but it would get chicago all excited again to have a superstar caliber sg and it would sell tickets again.....

Bluesky · by **Andrew** on Tue Jun 10, 2008 2:08 am

I believe the Bulls still have one of the league's longest sellout streaks, so for all their recent struggles selling tickets hasn't been one of them.

i don't think the heat will trade wade for a #2 pick and have the top 2 picks in their team. rookies, however good they are, can't make the heats contenders again next season. just look at seattle, they have kevin durant, but they still went to the lottery this season. i think that the heat will be more effective if a superstar is guiding their way than to rely on two rookies. it'll be much better if they will trade for another superstar, just like what the celtics did.

Maybe they will keep Marion, or tank for LBJ ?

Bluesky · by **Andrew** on Tue Jun 10, 2008 6:59 pm

How could the Heat tank to get LeBron James?

by **Oskar** on Tue Jun 10, 2008 7:05 pm

I thought LeBron will be a free agent, next year ? What I mean is get some serious salary..

I might be really wrong about that one too, soz.

He's not, but even if he was tanking has nothing to do with their ability to sign him.

by **Sauru** on Tue Jun 10, 2008 9:48 pm

tanking would probably hurt thier chances to sign him lol

by **Oskar** on Tue Jun 10, 2008 9:52 pm

I meant get salary, but I was wrong anyways. (again)

lmao.

by **kinokong** on Fri Jun 13, 2008 11:59 pm

lol, if they want to sign lbj next year, they'll have to lure paul silas as a coach, make jay-z a part-owner, have warren buffet as a consultant, and clear out nearly 15 million..... lol

Bluesky · by **Andrew** on Sat Jun 14, 2008 12:12 am

If they want to sign LeBron next year, they better think again. He's signed through at least 2010, with a player option for the 2010/2011 season.

But.
Rose + Beasley = Wade's Marketability.

by **Oskar** on Sat Jun 14, 2008 4:14 am

I kind a agree with Smoove at that point. I would love Rose and Beasley together, that'd be crazy. Though, they aren't proven players like said above a lot.
