Chicago won't sign Wade.

People are overrating Cleveland's talent.

Irving has missed 65 games combined in his first three seasons in the league. Not to mention he missed almost his entire one year at Duke with the foot injury.

What if Wiggins is a bust? We don't know what he's going to be in the NBA.

Part of the reason Miami has made it to four straight finals is their experience. When they go down 1-0 or 2-1 in a series, I usually have no doubt that they are going to come back and win it due to their experience together. Irving & Wiggins have zero playoff experience to rely on.

I think they'd ship Wiggins out for Love.

That would change the situation quite a bit.

I just still can't believe Wade opted out if LeBron and Bosh weren't 100% back.



could have been a last ditch effort on his part

It may be past the point of no return. This smoke with LBJ and the Cavs has to be real, otherwise Lebron looks bad all over again.

I tend to agree.

Yes, he's been hurt, I'll give you that. However, the Cavs shut him down for longer than they needed to. If they were playing for something that number would be cut in half.

Except a lot of the bron to Cleveland narrative is media driven.

I'm sure hes legitimately considering them as an option, but bron nor his camp have said anything about it publically.

You getting nervous? Remember, when Bron comes back, the bangwagoners arent welcome.

Inserting LBJ into that mix changes a lot. Kyrie no longer has to shoulder the load. Quite honestly over the course of a season he's giving you more than Wade can.

And Wiggins can develop a lot better when he's not being counted on as a second option. Also the Cavs have cap maneuverability for next year as well to bring in another impact FA for ~$10 million. Kevin Love is a possibility.

I think it's time to break up the big 3. This team can do nothing but decline. They can't add any meaningful pieces to the mix, and every year that they stay together the rest of the East is closing the gap.

Bosh is a better fit in Houston. Wade is a shell of his former self, and LBJ gets to make things right in Cleveland.

I would ban bet you over it, but you would just create another alter.

Whether comes back to Cleveland or not remains to be seen, but if Lebron is all about winning, simply put, the Heat arent getting any younger or better and arent the best choice IMO. There are better options out there for Lebron...including Cleveland.

I think Miami failed to address the elephant in the room... find a rebounding machine in the low post and a shot-blocking rim protector.

Failed is a strong word... they haven't yet signed or traded for one.

Cleveland does have varejao and thompson which aren't great choices but are certainly upgrades to bosh and andersen.
