Who would make you think about trading the #2?

According to Heat fans (and mods) Dwyane Wade is worth a whole damn truck full of #1 picks. Our measily lotto pick can't get a sniff of Wade and his 1 functioning shoulder

Quite true. I was called a homer for suggesting that his injury and his salary would affect his value, which they believe is the third best in the league (after LeBron and Dwight Howard, but not Kobe).

My point was that if he's satisfied with what he is now, then he becomes Zach Randolph, maybe without the attitude. I hope he keeps working hard, improves his defense even more, and the Wolves put players around him that allows Al to improve his passing.

I remember reading somewhere (I don't remember where exactly. Maybe here?) recently that Al is planning to work at getting into the best shape of his life this off season. That says to me that he isn't satisfied at where he is now.

his body language and the way he's playing doesn't make him look like a zach randolph type of player

Saying it and doing it are two different things. Everyone says they want to get better. I've seen enough players stagnate in their development to know it's not guaranteed.

Well, you could argue that Wade has a ring, and that MIGHT put his value above that of James and Howard (although both of those guys have physical attributes that I would value above Wade's.)

But Kobe? Kobe has three rings, the inside track on a fourth, and this season's MVP on his resume. He's bigger than Wade, is a better passer and defender, and oh by the way, Kobe plays hurt. I love Dwayne Wade, but he's not better or more valuable than Kobe.

I would kill to see a Bosh n Jefferson duo, problem is I sadly don't seeing that work well at all.

Those I would trade #2 for

Bosh
J. Johnson? starting to think id consider it
Durant
Oden
B. Wright/Ellis
