OKC or Cleveland
or he could pull a hypocrite move and join GSW for the vet min
It would be very funny if he joined The Warriors... It'd be a big middle finger to LeBron! I don't think wade has much left... He looked cooked in last years playoffs!
Did he? I thought he had some good games early on in the playoffs... like 2 of the first 3? Am I making that up? Or do you mean from that point forward he looked cooked?
It would be weird having DWade on the Celtics, I always thought he was a dirty player with a rigged finals MVP (not his fault but I don't like him so I'm putting it out there).
Yeah, he had three solid games against us:
Game 2: 22 PTS, 4 REB, 2 AST, 1 BLK, 9-16 FG
Game 3: 18 PTS, 1 REB, 3 AST, 1 STL, 1 BLK, 6-18 FG
Game 5: 26 PTS, 11 REB, 8 AST, 1 BLK, 7-18 FG
That said he also had 3 very mediocre game against us (11 pots, 11 pts, 2 pts - respectively).
He actually had a pretty strong regular season, putting up 18.3 PTS, 4.5 REB and 3.8 AST and 1.4 STL in only 29.9 MPG.
Remember we're talking about a 35 year old guard here - it's hard to complain about that type of production from him I think, all things considered. If he is your 3rd or 4th option and you can get if he is your 3rd or 4th option and can give you (worst case) a strong scoring night every 2nd game, then that's a nice player to have.
Personally, I think he would be best served playing on a team that has a lot of outside shooters - since his three point shot is a bit of a liability, I think he'd be a terrible fit on a team like Cleveland (that will also be starting Rose, Lebron and Tristan Thompson until IT comes back) - the lack of court spacing alone could completely destroy Clevleand, and he's not helping their already so-so defence either.
He'd be a strong fit in OKC - they already have two very capable defensive wings in Westbrook and George who can both shoot from outside, so having Wade in their could be massive for them - I honestly believe this would put OKC above Golden State in my eyes.
He could also work in San Antonio very nicely. They already have two extremely versatile two-way wings in Rudy-Gay and Kawhi Leonard, as well as two big men who are both quality jump shooters (Gasol and Aldridge) so there's plenty of shooting there. Wade could potentially play the PG spot there (with Rudy and Kawhi at SG/SF) or they could put Wade at SG (with Rudy at PF and Kawhi at SF), or they could do any varierty of potential lineups really.
I also still think he'd be a very strong fit in Boston, as we lost our best slasher (Isaiah) and arguably our two toughest competitors (Isaiah and Crowder) - I think Wade could fill that niche nicely on a vet min deal for us, and I think our young prospects could learn a lot from him as a veteran leader.
