Wade Will Make Recruiting Pitch To Fellow Free Agents

Chosen01 · Post #1 » by **Chosen01** » Thu Mar 18, 2010 1:38 pm

Heat superstar Dwyane Wade plans to talk with several free-agents after the season about possibly joining him in Miami if he stays.

Miami has room for two maximum contracts -- including Wade -- with another $5 million or so left afterward.

LeBron James, Chris Bosh, Amare Stoudemire are the other maximum-type guys that will hit the market.

I think its safe to say Wade is staying Miami

What if his recruiting doesn't work? Does he still sign there? Although I'm sure they can get Amare, at the least.

Miami don't have a very genuine fanbase, it just doesn't have that feel in their homecourt that you get in Chicago, Cleveland, New York, LA, just not the same. It wouldn't feel like you are playing for an emotionally invested fanbase. They're sort of take-it-or-leave-it-type fans. I wouldn't be surprised if the big names find somewhere else more appealing, but Miami is a great location with the weather and lifestyle, and Amare/Bosh are reasonably young, probably focus on the material things, so it might be enough.

That's cause a lot of people here are from NY, Chicago, Philly and other places. If the teams win people show up, if they suck people find other things to entertain themselves with. It's just how it is down here. The only team that has a real solid fan base is the Dolphins and that was tested in the 1-15 season.

But anyway, the thing Miami have going for it is the lure of assembling the most talented team in the NBA, with all that cap room, nice chance of a ring collection there for these guys. And Riley is a smart dude, good to have him on your side.

Easy buddy.

Amare + Wade is hardly the most talented team in the NBA.

The remaining cap space will be spent on filling the rest of the roster spots and it likely will not be any major player. That's almost as bad as Knicks fans saying they can have Lebron + Bosh + Lee + McGrady all on their team next season with there cap space.

O yeah I was thinking of Wade, Bosh AND Amare, but I now realise only 2 of them can fit in Miami. So yeah, really hard to say if Wade will lure either of them.

If wade wants to win, he takes the MLE to play in cleveland, where the only weakness is starting 2 guard. That makes tons more sense than trying to recruit LeBron to a team who's only strength is the starting 2 guard.

My guess is wade goes through the motions of recruiting and then signs in Chicago.

I dont know man. Wade is a GREAT player and if he was playing in my city, I would try to watch him every night. Lets face it Miami isnt a good basketball town. The economy has hurt you guys badly as well.

Miami isn't a good sports town, its a transient city. Most of the population isn't even American, then the ones that are, are from other cities. Very few have their roots in Miami.

Id go there just for reason alone :lol:

, but I would have to tell Wade that I get to go 1st, heard on radio his ex-wife claimed he gave her STDS

Amare will reach out to Miami

Miami will reach out to Bosh.

Many teams will reach out to Bosh, and only a couple to Amare.

Bosh will take his time.

Thus, Miami will lock up Amare.

Wade's likely convo to try and persuade Bosh to come to Miami:

Wade:Sup chris how you doing

Bosh: I'm good man, just contemplating on which team Imma sign with, either stay with Raptors or go to Chicago

Wade: Oh..yea you should come play with me down in Miami man..

Bosh: Hmm, i don't know man..

Wade: cmon, we'd be one of the best Duos in history.

Bosh: yea but would i be the first or second option?

Wade: Umm..*wade thinks in his head*(obviously 2nd moron )umm.. you'd be more of the 1b

Bosh: I'm better off staying with Raptors, and be the franchise player, for the rest of my career

Wade: and stay in Mediocrity every year of your career, you sure?

Bosh: yea man, either that Or I'll sign with Chicago, i would still be the first option there too

Wade: aww, you can't tell you only care about being the first option over winning..?

Bosh: yea bro, I wanna be "The Man"

Wade: aww c'mon Miami weather is better than any **** weather chicago or toronto has to offer..

Bosh:i don't reallty care about weather too much, i like the cold anyways..

Wade: Yo Chris, just thinking of all the beautiful honeys , left right and center man

Bosh: hmm..good point.. i don't know man..

Wade:And you already know that i hold the best sex parties.. ever..

Bosh; yea man you hold the BEST SEX PARTIES!

Wade: Yea.. I'm Owner of 10 clubs in Miami, trust me, every saturday it never gets old

Bosh: Yea..

Wade: yea so Chris, will you sign with Miami, become the start of the best duo in history, get twice more wins than the raptors, have girls all over you, sandy beaches, attend my sex parties, sunny beaches, whadoya say?

^That is weak, can't believe I read that.

Anyway even with another max FA Miami is hardly a GREAT team. They have weaknesses at center and point, and not very good depth.

Chicago is in a much better position. They're only in a position for 1 max, but they've got a great core already in Rose/Deng/Noah. Add a PF like Bosh/Boozer/Amare and that team is def amongst the best.
