MN gets Wade, hopefully enticing Rubio to come over, which hopefully playing along with Rubio and Al entices Wade to sign an extension. If Brewer actually develops we'd have a good core of 4.

Is it enough for Sacramento and Miami though?
Is Wade too much of a risk to bolt or be injured??

Not enough for either team. Way too good for the Wolves.

1. It's just not a realistic scenario.
2. Wade would bolt.

I wouldn't be so sure that he would bolt (although Miami to Minneapolis is a huge leap) Rubio, Wade, Jefferson.... If Rubio is even close to what ppl think he could be those three names would terrify other teams.

Big 3 is right tho, it will never happen. But it would be fun to see how many fewer whistles Wade would get as a T-Wolf.

I think Wade is just trying to leverage Miami to improve more than him being truly unhappy in Miami. I think it would have to get a lot worse for them to look to move him.

I like the trade to acquire Kevin Martin only if we could trade Rubio instead of Flynn

Wade went to Marquette if he's down with living in WI he'd be down with Minny. I guess you could always dream about Wade signing as a free agent.

I'd rather have a Flynn/Wade backcourt

Any trade with the TWolves for Wade would need to involve Al Jefferson and Rubio coming to Miami.

I think Wade would complain about the weather :lol:

I remember reading something awhile back on wiretap about Wade not wanting to go to NY because of the weather. Miami has spoiled the man :D

Maybe we should try for both Paul AND Wade.

Actually why stop there? I think we should acquire Paul, Wade, David Lee, Malik Allen, and Darell Arthur. Then we can field a lineup of Paul, Wade, Arthur, Allen, and Lee, and people wont know if those are first names or last names. It will be sweet. Allen, Barry, Anthony, James, and Karl can come off the bench.

Wade can't throw his sexy parties in Minneapolis, it doesn't make sense.

Didn't you know? This is Minnesota baby. This is where all the great players want to be.

Tell that to Bryant McKinnie, Moe Williams and Daunte Culpepper. All you need is a boat.

and the whole state cracked down on them with pitchforks and torches. In Miami they probably give you a tax write off for that kind of stuff.

Ships or Yachts, fishing is done from boats. Riles is a different story, players love it in Miami.

No it does not. Wade will remain in Miami or "bolt" to Chicago.
