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.
