he wouldn't do this unless he had word from lebron that he lebron was staying.... in my opinion
this is huge. in every way imaginable
without a doubt. no way he goes from 20 million to 13 without word from LeBron that he is staying. If Bosh does something similar and LeBron just takes a mild paycut we would have TONS of cap room. The guy I want most is Kyle Lowry. Need consistency out of the PG.. he would bring it.
I think what we need most is a guy who can play on the wing. If wade is going to need a reduced role we need to find a way to replace his production and defense, i don't know if lowry can guard most 2's.
I still think Ariza is the guy we need.
I still wouldn't complain about Lowry though, he is a great all around player.
Also, lovin this news because I have been going on and on about how dwade should take a 4 year 50-52 million dollar deal. Nailed it!
My three options of what I would like to see are:
something like ariza and collison. We would have be quickest, most athletic, best small ball lineup we've ever had with ariza, bron, wade, collison and bosh.
ariza and a stretch four like Patrick Patterson. This allows bosh to go back to his midrange/post/rebound game. would give us even more versatility with matching up on D.
Ariza and a Center (gasol, hill or gortat, maybe a stretch). Bosh continues his evolution to a stretch 4. Great wing versatility. Great big ball line up. Gasol, Bosh, Bron, Ariza, Wade.
just some thoughts.
Wade is done! He isn't athletic any more. He was no where to be found. Give him the mid-level exemption (or whatever it's called) and have him come off the bench. This team needs a center! The Spurs aren't going anywhere. The Bulls aren't a push over. They get healthy and add Melo...wow. They play damn good D. If the Pacers (It's a Big if.) can stop being bi-polar they're a top 4 team in the league.
LeBron needs his minutes greatly reduced. 4 straight finals and all the Olympic basketball has really taken a toll on him and the others. I also wonder if he could lose some weight. Trim down some of that muscle....say 10-15 pounds. That will help with quickness and speed.
What I want to see from Wade (and what he should have done earlier in his career) is develop a three point shot
He needs to find a way to reinvent himself. I'm fully confident that he can. Fall down 7 times, stand up 8.
We can't afford Gortat unless he wants to take a South Beach discount. Also, not sure how true this rumor truly is. Will be interesting to see who we get...This is awesome news. Now bring in gortat and a pg.
We don't need Gortat. We just need a center who can rebound and score garbage buckets. Just a big body who isn't bad
