Wade's a pretty good bench player, definitely an upgrade. Cheer up Rex, moment of truth come for everybody. My appetite for destruction put on hold as well, at least until the feelgood is over

Looks like a last push before re evaluation in summer. My only worry is that Hassan's value will drop after big man injection at the draft

Man looking at what Clippers got for BG/CP (Not even a decent 1st) and Hassan's market value before the deadline, I dread imagining if his value drops. Jus hoping for a deep Playoff push
In the position we're currently in, we have to re-sign Ellington and if by chance Wade and Dion's back next season, can't even play him or McGruder. Fact, McGruder should definitely be an afterthought at this moment, either McGruder or Winslow. I don't like the possible clusterphuck but trust in Elisburg

Re: 2018-19 Official Trade Thread
I see Iggie decided to unlock the trade thread
Any chance Willie Reed gets a buyout? That would open the floor up for the Heat to look into Hassan trade options over the summer.
Bam/Reed/KO with minutes at center = boo yah
Babbit must play 48 mins at PF.

Would love to get him but we have no room. Especially with McGruder coming back. He's going to want playing time

Re: 2018-19 Official Trade Thread
From Zach Lowe's ESPN article:
"Wade is a legend, and for a while there, he propped up a frisky bench. But at 36, he was mostly just another non-shooter clogging LeBron's driving lanes and playing zero defense.
He shot a lot, too. An aging veteran who loafs on defense, jacks with the frequency of a borderline All-Star, and scolds others for their mistakes can sap morale even without really meaning to -- or acting with malice."

Re: 2018-19 Official Trade Thread
I hope Wade starts, & plays around 5/6 min to start the game, & 5/6 min to close the half. & the same in the 2nd half. This way he starts, finishes, & gets at least 12 min of rest to close out half's. & when he is hot you leave him out there a little longer.

I think this is how it plays out. Not tonight but after a few games.
