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.

The problem is that Winslow can't score. I remember seeing something last year about how the Heat were actually disturbed at how bad he was, offensively, lol . But dat defense, tho (sarcasm) .
Gpod god, people. Read, lol. It depends on which Rondo shows up. Depends on which Wade, too. Very easy to imagine the change of scenery and going home revitalizing him for a year.
David Aldridge @daldridgetntJust got a message from Dwyane Wade: "it's real."

Adrian Wojnarowski @WojVerticalNBAChicago has traded guard Jose Calderon to the Los Angeles Lakers, league sources tell @TheVertical.YES!!!!!!
