I think Wade was still good enough to win as a first option on a team that was good enough (when healthy)

Who’s win this matchup?

2004 Pistons

Billups
2012 Dwayne Wade /Rip?
Prince
Wallace
Wallace

2015 Warriors
Curry
Thompson
Barnes
Green
Bogut

Pistons sweep.

Do you think DET has enough offense?

I’d be pretty confident in taking the Pistons if you were talking about 06/09/10/11 Wade, with 2012 it’s more interesting. I’d argue even that version of Wade becomes the team’s best offensive player, and certainly another offensive weapon to a not good but not terrible offense. I think they’d be a defense the likes of which Curry and that crew has never seen(yes I know how great the Raptors were), I’d argue with Wade added they’d become a better offense than the Grizzlies who at least prior to the Conley/Allen injuries were able to hang with the Warriors and give Curry some trouble. Wade’s defense was still pretty good that year when he was able to move around, I don’t see Curry having his way with Billups/Wade/Rip/Prince being thrown at him on every play. Also if Draymond thinks he’s so tough he’s going to learn a thing or two playing against the Wallaces over a series. I can see it going either way, but If Wade is reasonably healthy that series I’d probably take them.
