Wade and Dragic relationship 

Post#1 » by DanDanE420 » Fri Mar 4, 2016 1:24 pm

Read a rumor on another site that Wade and Dragic don't get along off the court. Seems like BS based on their interactions in public. Any truth to this?

Wade has a level of respect for Bosh and JJ that he doesn't have for Dragic.

Ethan's said that they both like each other. There's a language barrier though so I doubt they hang out off the court but no, there's no problem.

And obviously Wade views Goran differently than he views JJ or Bosh. Goran is from the same draft class as Chalmers and he has yet to start in a playoff game. As good as he may be he isn't one of Wade's peers yet.

That is the usual speculation based on the struggles they had playing next to each other early on. What matters is their chemistry on the court improving with each and every game. Based on that, I highly doubt they dislike each other. In fact, given the insane celebrations we have on our bench, I'd say our group overall is a pretty cohesive unit. We essentially have players who are over themselves, as Pop would say, with the lone exception possibly being Hassan and even his process of understanding the importance of the team over his own success is growing with each game.

Just because they're not bff doesn't mean they hate each other.

There were many accounts/sites/articles/quotes that shows that Goran is absolutely giddy about playing with D-Wade.

I don't know, on court they appear to get along too well, that would be odd if at least some % of that doesn't translate to off the court despite Goran's accent sounding like some cartoon character :-?
