Looks like Rose is going to miss at least a week so Calderon will be starting for a couple of games.

Smart move by wade, to bad coach Lebrond didn't think of it earlier. :)

Kind of my take too. It is good wade was professional enough to acknowledge it wasn't working, but it says a lot about lue that he made this move to begin with when most on the forum here could tell it was a bad fit.

Yep and the reasoning was because Wade has always started.  The quotes from Lue in that article are just strange.

This makes way more sense. Let Wade play like Wade, carrying the second team. Smith is just a much better fit.

If Wade embraces this, he could be 6MOY.

Its hard for me to believe these stars ask to come off the bench. I feel like the teams send out this message to not hurt their public image but in reality the coaches made the decision to switch his role

I'd like to see Kyrie ask to come off the bench to allow Rozier to start.  Put your best out there to start the game.

Pretty much it. TP. This way there are no hurt feelings. Not even JRs now being back in the starting lineup.

I disagree. We should showcase our scrubs and trade them afterwards. Bye bye Kyrie...
