Why does danny seem to have no interest in Wade?

[rondohondo]

Is it just Stevens' offense? Doesn't want an Iso  player to mess with the ball movement? I think that IT is more than capable of playing off the ball for stretches, running around screens and spoting up.

Wade would also give us another all-star playmaker to go to in the clutch.


IT          smart
Wade.   Ab
Crowder brown
KO.          Mickey
Horford   Amare?

Still have max room next year

Because a team starting Avery Bradley is a better team than a team starting Dwyane Wade.

[PhoSita]

I think the only reason DA would go after Wade would be to try and mess with Pat Riley.

[LarBrd33]

If Stevens doesn't want the iso-ball of Wade, we sure as heck wouldn't be interesting in Westbrook.  Neither makes any sense, but at least with Wade you could get him without giving up any major assets (aside from Amir and Jerebko).

[mef730]

Because he knows what he's doing.

Mike

[RJ87]

Because everyone knows he's not really leaving Miami, he's just using other teams as leverage.

Agreed. Wade would need to come off the bench. To accept a 6th man role which I doubt Wade is willing to do. And even if Wade did, that would come at the cost of Smart's minutes & development + Jaylen Brown's minutes and development.

Exactly besides I don't want him

The argument can be made that Russell Westbrook is a superstar. He was an MVP candidate last year. He is in his prime as well.

When you are a GM there is one set of rules for acquiring in prime superstars and a completely different one for non superstars. Westbrook (who I know you think is tremendously overrated) at least seems to have the talent to transcend fit and scheme. Dwayne Wade, at this point in his career, does not. It's a superstar league.

[Celtics4ever]

He is shot and on the downside, he had a good year last year but who knows how many more he has really.   The wheels could fall off that wagon any second.

There's absolutely no argument that Westbrook ISN'T a superstar. He's a legit MVP candidate. Of course, that doesn't mean I think we should necessarily take the risk of trading for him without reassurances. I just think it's absolute non-sense that some on here say that a player of Westbrook's caliber isn't a superstar.

An argument can be made that Westbrook is the most overrated player in he NBA and is as much a "superstar" as Rajon Rondo was... in other words - not a superstar.

It would be a very silly argument, but an argument nonetheless...

[saltlover]

Price. Why pay $20+ million for 2+ years at your deepest position?  I'm willing to concede for the sake of argument that Wade would be an upgrade, but not enough of one to warrant the price.

I can't answer the question...but I know one thing, the C's need a guy that can get his own shot consistently, besides IT.

Thomas will wear down at the rate he's going. You can't keep hitting the ground at the rate he does and not begin to wear down, and get small nagging injuries. I still say Isaiah would make a great 6th man.
