D Wade bought out by Chicago. Where is he going?

[SHAQATTACK]

This Cavs team is going to struggle with spacing until IT gets back. The Rose, Wade, James, Love, and TT lineup only averaged 5 threes a game combined last season, which is crazy given that Cavs' team identity the last several years.

And that's not even considering that unit's complete lack of defense. 

That is made 3's of course.  Love shot over 6 a game and made at 37.3%, James was over 4.5 attempts at 36.3%, Rose shot less than 1 a game was a terrible 21.7%, and Wade was at 2.4 attempts but hit a career best 31% (Thompson didn't shoot any 3's - well he shot 3 all year).  If Wade starts, that means they add Smith to the bench and that is where all the shooters are with Smith, Korver, Frye, Crowder, etc.

Are these adjusted for climate differences across cities?

only if they are not drinking bottled waters .

I honestly find it funny how the media sees this Wade signing and thinks it actually puts them at or very close to Golden State level 

Not even joking, you can see the videos or watch an ESPN segment later today, it's actually a belief now.

I don't think the Cavs were thought of all that far away from the Warriors by many in the media (at least with a healthy Thomas) so adding a nice solid player like Wade gets them closer.

Yea. The bulls were actually worse with Wade on the floor last year. He doesn't really help the Cavs against the Warriors. Meanwhile a lot of the players on Golden State are right in their prime, perhaps even improving (Durant, Curry, Green, Thompson). The Cavs are dealing with Lebron, Wade, Smith being 32+ and guys with serious injury concerns like IT and Rose (to say nothing of fit). The Warriors scored 113, 132, 128 and 129 in the wins of their 5 game finals romp. So instead of getting a two way star like Butler or George they added the guy many people think was the worse defensive guard in the league in IT and someone that wasn't that far behind (rose). Then the Cherry on top is a 35 year old guy that is comical to think about guarding Thompson, Curry or Durant. Will Warriors set scoring records when they play the Cav?

Nobody would have picked them to do so, but I think if the Cavs had found a way to get Bradley and Smart and George instead of IT, Rose and Wade they would have probably beat the Warriors, possibly in a convincing fashion.
