No, we don't want that. We want Wade to stay in Miami. If he leaves, Heat likely tank (bad for Nets pick). We need both Bulls and Heat to stay competitive and yet irrelevant.


Miami could be better without Wade, it will give Dragic more room to operate. If Bosh comes back, big IF, I don't think Miami would be that worse off.


I really hope Bosh doesn't come back for the sake of his own health. It doesn't seem safe.

Wade on the verge of being a Bull. The NBA is crazy!

Welp, there goes our chances of trading for Butler. The Bulls just hopped on to the NBA treadmill. Smh at GarPax.

So how can we benefit from Wade to the Bulls?

Just watch as Riley takes on contracts with their remaining space (no more good FAs out there) and just tank for a year then still try and snag a star from 2017 FA market. Butler's also now more off the trade table than ever if Bulls land Wade. They'll believe they can be 2nd best team in the East. But who knows really? Just my two cents.

Dragic/Richardson/Winslow/McRoberts/Whiteside spells tank city.

Wade to Chicago is bad.

A Wade-less Miami team may give Brooklyn a run for their money in the tank-a-thon.

Again... when's the last time 3 stars walked in FA and left the teams that drafted them... in a single offseason. NBA be cray!

OKC, Heat, and Hawks had their stars leave without them getting anything in return. Danny OTOH...

Nets might get Calderon. Our pick just got hit with the double whammy today.

Truth18 is about to validate everything he said about Whiteside. Without Wade and without a leader in Miami, Whiteside's going to get exposed.

Wade takes pay cut after pay cut and this is how he's treated. Basically forced out. They make sure to pay noodle brain Whiteside and not a guy who's primarily responsible for 3 Banners in the AA...

I hope the Heat have good scouts...

Their Spacing sucks and Miami is awful. Hopefully they aren't beyond awful, because that bitch Pat Riley will probably win the lotto.
