Wade is apparently pushing for a deal to be agreed to tonight, whether it be in Denver, Chicago, or Miami. Riley is supposed to have contingency plans for if Wade leaves. I'd like to know what those are - does a maxed out Whiteside figure into that without Wade? I can't see what kind of competitive team he can put together without Wade.

Might be tear down time to get assets for your team. You could probably send Dragic to Philly for one of their bigs, leaving you the ability to trade Whiteside.

Wouldn't Riley just build around Whiteside, Winslow, and Richardson, though?  He's always built or coached around big men, and wisely so, even if some see it as being an antiquated approach in the 'modern NBA' , but still, talk about a total reversal for Miami.  They go from one game, and perhaps a Whiteside injury, away from the conference finals to seeing Joe Johnson sign with Utah, lol , Luol Deng with the Lakers, haha, and now, possibly, Wade leaving for Chicago, plus Bosh's likely retirement.  Wow.  It's like rats jumping from a sinking ship, lol . Unbelievabull .

Not sure he'd really want to start a rebuild around Whiteside, though, especially if he can pry one of the Philly bigs for a Dragic trade. He might as well commit to him and then trade him on December 15 for as much as he can.

Yep, just saw it.

Apparently this is the summer where fit doesn't matter (GS, Chicago) and we're trading for stars who would've been excellent three or four years ago (Chicago, New York).

That second tier in the East is going to be fun, though. I still think Boston and Toronto are clearly at the top of that tier, but Indiana, Atlanta, Detroit, Charlotte, Chicago, and Washington will all be right below us there.

Ha ha ha ha ha.

Rajon Rondo - Dwyane Wade - Jimmy Butler.

Want to beat Chicago, just clog the paint and let these guys shoot three's.

That perimeter defense, tho.

Also guarantees BKN will have lots to chase after.

What do you mean - that there will be plenty of teams better than Brooklyn? Oh yeah. I still hold that they'll be the worst team in the league next year, though the Heat could certainly tank the season now.

Are we even sure Rajon Rondo is still a good defender?

Also, their defense can be beat. I don't think they will be able to consistently shoot three's on an average rate.

Wade and Rondo's defense is overrated (Butler's has taken a hit too since he became a more prolific scorer).

All three are high usage guards too. I really think Butler is available.

Are you serious or is this sarcastic?

[ashanm10]

[dang], we can't steal anything as of yet

Wonder if whiteside will reconsider, or maybe take a minimum and go to gsw xD hahha

[ashanm10]

Unfortunately Brooklyn will never tank knowing the picks aren't theirs so I have a bad feeling we end up with the 3 again or Sth like that -.-
