When Wade loses his athleticism will he evolve into a PG?

As Wade ages and slowly but surely losses his athleticism he is going to have to make a decision as to where he takes his game in the future. The way I see it is he can either become a high percentage open jump shot shooter and remain an undersized shooting guard or he can evolve into a true point guard. His current game needs athleticism for him to succeed, he's going to have to make changes and adapt eventually, where will he take his game? Otherwise I just don't see Wade lasting many more seasons as a superstar in this league.

Sounds like someone who is hoping Wade declines real soon. All that matters is what's happening right now.

I must say I agree to this. :roll:

As he loses athleticism he'll be able to play PG less effectively. You think when he gets slower and older he's going to guard quicker, smaller players more often? Wade isn't really undersized at the 2. He's got good length and is very strong. If anything, he is too big to play point fulltime.

I'm just saying, the guy's game is based on his athleticism. He's not a great shooter. He's definitely crafty though so maybe that'll help him out a bit.

Haha maybe, I'm just thinking ahead with this Miami team. They're winning now and everything, but I'm having a hard time enjoying it because I feel like there's something really wrong with the LeBron, Wade, Bosh, Spoelstra foursome. There's no way they evolve into a multiple championship team without one or two of the four being moved out. It's just hard to watch LeBron and Wade mess it all up, one of them needs to become a PG, or they need to replace one with a PG.

So as he loses athleticism, he's going to switch to a position that requires him to defend the fastest and quickest players on the court?

He'll evolve into a more blatant flopper .. still will be a great player though

he will evolve into Robin. Riding Lebron's coattails to multiple championships.

This and this is the best compliment to give him

He'll be about as valuable as Roy has become after his knee issues.

Post move and off the ball slashing. This is what Wade will do.

Can't see him doing too much without his athleticism.
