I don't think he does but without Bosh they are in a tough spot. I would love if he did it because he was pissed at Riles.

It can work if one of Rose/Wade are willing to play off the bench or come out of games early to play key minutes with the 2nd unit.

Seems like that's the plan.

The DWade thing is so crazy. I never thought it would come to that in Miami. Wade shocked me with how well he's been able to play this late in his career. This is one crazy summer!!!

They have to renounce Wade to sign Whiteside

As many times as the Knicks have been used as pawns to drive up the price, I have no problem screwing Miami.

Knicks dont have enuff 16 cap to drive up Miami's price on Tyler Johnson lest Wade

Say what? Care to explain. We have plenty

Pats low balling wade

What cap do we have left after Noah? 12-15? That is not close to Pats lowball or what others would pay

Have to hope it would be a David West type move but for more money.

Perhaps the reason why the Noah deal hasn't been finalized is because he may take a slight pay cut to sign a SG....hmmmmm.....

You can let both Wade and Rose start the game together so they can say they're starters and then start using rotations with one or the other on the bench while the other is on the floor. Wade knows more than anyone that if he was on a team with that many guys that like to score that he'd have to take s step back every now and then and the same with Melo and Rose. It could work if everyone could get behind the team thing and not be greedy and Melo showed last year that he's willing to take a step back for the team to do other things on the court.

Uptown @ 7/1/2016 8:17 PM
With that said, there is no way I see Wade leaving Wade County.....But if he wants to come here, you sign him. He's an alltime great and had a very productive year last yr....

No they don't. They can afford both.

I think Bosh is out for six months no matter what and then probably is done. I am not sure what the time line is for that six months.

Well what would you think about Wade on a 2 year contract?? Not sure what kind of years or money they're talking about but gotta believe it's no more than 2 years and don't think he'd sign at 1 year.


I would rather have a younger, cheaper defensive SG who can hit 3s. Wade and Rose both need the ball to be effective. I would pass.

Yup.

Closest thing to a 3pt shooter on our starting 5 would be KP or Melo, and neither of them are lights out...it would not be a good mix of player styles offensively with Rose, Wade, and Melo, and Wade's D is nothing special at this point.

I agree. It sounds like both Lee and Gordon will be signed soon. Wade most likely goes back to Miami.

Drive price up and then steal Tyler Johnson?

See this is something that annoys me- if Tyler Johnson had been a Knick, some other team would have tried to screw us by now by offering him a poison pill contract.

So there's an interesting tweet from D.Wade's wife G.Union if you wanna read between the lines and them missing LaLa and Melo.

If you want to go there... this one is even more grist for the mill.

This Wade thing reads like a bluff. He and Riley are playing chicken again.
