I know he is getting up there in age , and looked bad in the finals , but still averaged 18ppg on 50% shooting in the Playoffs .  I know Rondo wouldn't be too thrilled , but Wade may be the closet thing we could get as a second star after Kevin Love  for relatively cheap.


Bos sends: KO, Hump s+T(1 year deal/10mil),2015 c's pick, cleveland 2016 pick Brooklyn 2016 pick , Young
Bos gets  : Love

Bos sends : Bogans, Pressey,Babb , Thorton , Smart, filler
Bos gets  : Wade

PG: Rondo    /
SG: Wade    / Bradley
SF: Green    / Wallace
PF: Love     / Bass
 C: Sully      / Zeller

I am not sure I would actually do the trade , but it would definitely be a very talented team , what do you think? Any chance Ainge goes after Wade , if he can land Love 1st ?

At this point, I don't think I would give up Olynyk for Wade.......

Hate the guy, but I would absolutely trade Kelly for Wade, a broken Wade is still an all-star

HATE HIS GUTS but you cannot say no to an all-star

it's like the people who would say no to LeBron coming to Boston, REALLY?

Wade is 31 and breaking down, that's why I wouldn't give up any assets for him.

Hope not. I don't mind getting Dwayne Wade. I mind getting Dwayne Wade's knees.
Jaylen Brown will be an All Star in the next 5 years.

You joking or?

Rondo/Pressey/Smart
Wade/Smart/Johnson
Green/Wallace
Love/FA
Zeller/Anthony/FA/Fav

We just need a rim protector, and we got Wade who is an Allstar by default... PLUS! He can mentor and teach Smart how to use smarter tactics on defense, and how to flop! Wade is virtually the best player we could ask for in terms of applying all his skill sets into Smart... Getting Wade should make Smart more confident in his shots, defense, and ability to read passing lanes more... Its like having Lebron teach Paul George offensive moves...

I'm by no means a Bradley fan, but I'd still rather go with Bradley than Wade, and Smart may overtake both of them.

Love is not coming here, so this point is completely moot.

We aren't landing love... but I mentioned in a previous thread that I actually can envision a scenario where Danny gives up some assets for Wade.
