If Wade Joined Cavs (via buyout) Would They Be Better?

[hodgy03038]

Wade can bring it occasionally but if they are counting on him on an every game basis NO WAY. I would make Wade suffer in Chicago if I was ownership. Why should they pay the greedy guy all that money and let him walk to boot. Let him suffer.

Wade will be Deron Williams part deux!

too many players who do not fit... lets see first if thomas goes for a surgery

Yea IT in a contract year, rose on a make good one year deal, smith, wade and whatever Calderon is make a terrible backcourt combination. Need someone like bradley, not like wade.

of course they need someone like Bradley, but where is that player coming from.  If Wade is bought out they would be the front runners to sign him, so why wouldn't they?

Yeah, he'd help. Somebody who can make his own offense when Lebron sits would make them better.

But offense wasn't a huge issue for Cleveland last season, defense was. Wade doesn't help them there.

Sure, but as I've been saying in this thread, that player isn't available, Wade is (or at least will be), and Wade is better than Shumpert, Smith, etc. and thus makes them better.

If you're asking whether Wade can help CLE in a series against Golden State....

Then HELL NO.

Wade will get lost in all the motion and fast pace from the Warriors and their young players.

Wade also CAN'T play defense well anymore, and we saw that firsthand in the Bulls-Celtics playoff series.

Sorry, you're both wrong.

The Cavs were 14.7 points per 100 possessions worse when Lebron sat. In other words, their offense absolutely collapsed. If used correctly, Wade would help with that.
