Wade wins starting job with the cavs...

[lebron23james]

D-Wade named Cavaliers' fifth and final starter

 

[lebron23james]

All we need is to add Chris bosh and we will have the miami cavs

 

[Mecca]

He should be the starter.

But, they need to trade Shump.

Not sure who would want him though...

That starting lineup lacks outside shooting til IT returns. What was crowder 3 pt numbers because we all know wade and rose aren't shooters

More slashers tho....Plus with the way the east is right now, not sure it matters early anyways.

It doesn't matter in the East. Not really anyway.

But, Wade does not fit with the starters as well as JR Smith does.

I mean i don't think they finish with hca but it means nothing as we saw last year

Translation = Lebron looked a Lue and said "You know you startin' D-Wade, right?"

Bosh is done for man - He is not medically sound enough for the NBA due to the blood clot issues. He may not have any now, but his body produces them like candy if he doesn't take care himself.

I didn't know there was any doubt that he would start to begin with

 

[LogicMan]

Is this a good thing that no one else could out compete Dwade for the slot?

 

[SJ76]

Hopefully he can play some D and hit some outside jumpers consistently as that SG

40% last year, taking 6 per game.

If TT was still starting at center, putting Rose & Wade out there would cause serious spacing issues.

But with Love, LeBron, & Crowder as your frontcourt... spacing will be fine. That frontcourt compliments Wade & Rose perfectly cause they excel at driving/slashing

I wanted JR as a starter and Wade to lead the bench with a ton of shooters around him. Of course there will be different lineups they will experiment with but Love and Crowder are very good shooters. Not sure how they would do on the boards, they have rebounders at every position but not a ton of size up front. Crowder was a 40% shooter last year, his best of his career though, but he is only 26. Lebron also shot 36% last year so we will see how good he plays from the outside this year as well.

But it wasn't just that, Wade had his chin on Bron's shoulder give a pouty face, "pleeeeease Ty, pretty please with cheese doodle on top" lol

 

[tducey]

Good for Wade. Think him and Lebron have a good yr. together with Cleveland.

 

[gordontrue]

I wanted Wade to lead the bench

Still possible with him starting. Likely, he'll be the first starter pulled (with JR being the 6th man)... meaning he'll be in position to come back in with the bench once the other starter's get their rest. I think we'll see plenty of Wade at PG when Rose is on the bench.

It'll be interesting to see the rotations tonight. Based on what Lue has said... I think it'll be pretty representative of his plan to start the season. (At least the 1st half, anyway).

Love shump 1st round pick for Cousins

FIFY, still a tough sell.
