If he comes back healthy and returns to 2011 form, and LeBron stays at the same level (or somehow builds off last season and gets even better, which is entirely possible), the Heat have the 2 best players in the league imo. Durant is really good, but a healthy Wade is the only guy in the league that can give you like 95% of what LeBron gives you.

Yeah, he didn't play well in the playoffs this year, but gimpy, unimpressive Wade is still a whole lot better than no Wade, and he was still a big net positive for the Heat. They don't win the title without him.


I would rank Wade 4th or 5th among players in this league but still having two top 5 players in the NBA on your roster? They are the only team in the NBA who can say that IMO.

And you(well really both of you) would be correct.

The stuff that he does on the court is still amazing. And good SGs in the NBA are super pretty rare.

I've had Wade as the best 2 guard in the league for 2 years.

I think we'll be able to beat the Celts in 7 games.

Now we are so far off so I don't want to speak in definitives or even make predictions for actual playoff match ups just yet, but I think we could beat them.

Will we?

Not sure.

And honestly at this point I still think we're geared up for a lot of regular season success and the 2 seed, but Boston would still be the second most dangerous team in the playoffs if they were fully healthy, gel with all their additions and the young guys they drafted play well.

Just 2? I think he's been the best since 09, so 4 years for me.
