Lebron needs to separate himself from Wade

TDotRaptors · Post #1 » by **TDotRaptors** » Mon Feb 27, 2012 4:22 pm

LeBron has shown this year he is the greatest player in the league without doubt.
I just hope he can separate himself from DWade. (they do everything together, even during the all star game slam dunk competition, they sit together and eat their sandwich at the same time... lol)
LeBron can be the next Magic Johnson, a positive team player, who dominates with a smile on his face every game.
DWade is the just negative energy with a huge sense of entitlement, and I think if LeBron can separate himself from DWade, he will lead Miami to multiple championships and change people's negative views of him.
It's no longer the BIG 3 in Miami, its the BIG 1 + 2.

Just because the Heat has a winning record without Wade doesn't mean that they don't need him.

The big 3 are fine. No one's perfect. Reading WAY into it.

I think Magic was the 2nd best player in the last 25 years.

But people used to like LeBron, (when he was in Cleveland)
It's this LeBron - DWade duo that people hate.
Somehow when they are together they just seem cocky and annoying.

LeBron doesn't need Wade, Wade needs LeBron.

Miami could replace Wade with any top 10 SG
and they would still be favorites to win the championship.

Love how before his comments about being like Magic than Jordan, people said Lebron was like Jordan..but since the frozen one now said Magic..his fanbois follow suit. :lol:

I actually AGREE with OP in the sense that James and Wade shouldn't be so close off the court like that.

You need to have a business as usual relationship when dealing with sports. Sometimes if the comradory is too strong you tend to hold the person less accountable than others because you're worrying about hurting their feelings or having bad blood.

Wade should have been up in LeBron's face last finals.. but ya know, they're "best friends".

Look at Scottie and Jordan and Shaq and Kobe's relationships , I rest my case.

my main take is that Lebron needs a hypeman in his life. He seeks that out like air. Not seeing the chance of this (breakup) happening. If its not Wade it'll be somebody else.

Having been the Mod on the Cavs board, let me assure you LeBron has always had a large contingent of people that didn't like him.

Oh good grief. Not this again. Have you seen the plays these guys make together now? Stop letting expectations get in the way of enjoying a good show. They have about five plays in every game between the two of them that are just jaw dropping. They have an almost telelkenetic connection at times.

And no lead is safe at any point in a game with them. That game five against Chicago was insane.

I do admit, though, it was funny that they were earting their hotdogs at the same time. They're brothers: they're singing and they're happy...

Just rewatch last years Finals. LeBron definitely needs Wade if he wants a ring.

I agree somewhat that if you replaced Wade with a top 10 SG, the Heat would still be contenders. But it couldn't just be a one on one trade with any random SG. You'd have to trade Wade for some value.

Imagine getting a package similar to what Denver got from NY for Wade. You'll have instant depth, youth, AND draft picks. That would be just scary for the league and the only way for LeBron to win 8 championships in a row. Right now, Riley has this team set up for 3-4 shots at the championship. If he dealt Wade for copious amounts of GOOD young talent and draft picks, this team could be set up for the next 10 years easily. Otherwise you're looking at a Boston type window closing considering Wade is already on the wrong side of 30.

This is true...other that you're wrong.

They can win multiple championships though.

Monta Ellis is a top 10 SG, you really think Heat wouldn't miss a beat if he's replacing Wade?

I said "somewhat" and I also said it couldn't just be a Wade for "insert random SG here" trade. Did you read the rest of my post?
