Wasn't he unhappy with the organization within the past 2 years or so? What the hell has the organization done to prove they are serious about contending and giving him what he needs? I know he likes it there and all but I thought for sure he would have bolted a year ago when asked about what he would do.

Isn't there some Lebron to MIA talk? Or has that passed? I haven't been keeping up with it much lately.

After their championship run they knew they couldnt keep winning with that team. Sat Wade down, told him the were gonna blow the team up and position itself for this summer. I think the thought of playing with another superstar, in south beach during their prime helped him cope with these past two years.

Just my opinion...


I also believe Bosh ends up in Miami.

Is overlooked because of LeBron.


I think he ends up staying in Miami unless they do absolutley nothing this offseason. Problem is, I don't think Wade's play improves that much with another superstar player. Bosh would help no doubt, but it wouldn't make them an elite team. I think Wade needs a big and outside shooter to complement him or maybe a Denver type situation. IMO IMHO FWIW

If he was unhappy at one time that changed.
He not only is recruiting for Miami, he is talking to other free agents trying to dissuade them from going to teams like the Bulls.
He has been reminding other free agents about how the Bulls broke up a team that had one six championships.


here is the link to what Wade said about the Bulls:

quote:

"I think the biggest question that you think about has to be loyalty," said Wade, a Richards grad who added he has been a Bulls fan for a long time. "I know one thing about Miami: It is a very loyal organization. I see what they do with their players when their players get done with the game of basketball … how loyal they are. I don't know about the Bulls."


quote:

"I see Michael Jordan is not there, Scottie Pippen is not there. … You know, these guys are not a part," Wade said. "Things like that. So that is probably one of the biggest things for me, because I am a very loyal person."

I think D Wade stays in South Beach, if not it's Chi-town.

I seriously doubt Bron heads to Miami.

Wade is a top 3 player in the league, what else do you want out of the guy. A superstar post player and a couple of great role players and Miami is def. in the mix for the NBA title. I don't see how a Joe Johnson type player helps that much when they would basically need to be playing Wade's position on the court.

I wouldn't say that. He's still getting plenty of shine and curiosity. But when they talk about this class of FA's all I'm thinking about is Bron and D-Wade. I really give a frick about everyone else at this point.

If Bron and Bosh both went to Miami, we would be like the Bulls fans on SNL talking about a "minimum 8 pete" lol
