Is D-Wade really done at 31?

[East_Stone_Ya]

Wade played 70 games last season and was putting up 24/5/5/3/1 on near 54% over a 20+ game stretch. Then he bumped knees and got injured. The guy is unlucky like that sometimes. He still averaged 21/5/5/2/1 on only 16 shots.

He's far from being done.

He is. You can't give him new knees. Rehab can only do so much (see: Oden).

Are you seriously comparing a guy who averaged 21/5/5/2/1 on 52% in the RS and 20/4/5/2/1 on 47% in the Finals to Oden (he played 2 minutes in the past 4 years)?

I think he will get more and more injured as the seasons go, but his decline isn

[Haymaker]

Let's put it this way: We'll never see the old Wade back. Get used to him playing great in spurts.

[Collie]

He ain't done, but he's clearly past his best years.

[NoGunzJustSkillz]

He may not have missed extended games but his game was missing.

Done.

Kaput.

Precautionary measures. You can do that when you're back-to-back champions. He'll be fine come Feb-March like he always is.

[Nash]

No, injuries and a mixture of him going from being #1 option to 2nd.If you look at his efficiency last season you'll see his much better than before.

People compare him to like Harden and the idiot Durant says Harden is better but if Wade was in Houston without Lebron and Bosh and was the #1 option like Harden last season he'd look much better than Harden and his stats would be insane.

steroids will do that to a body.

The "Is Wade done" thread comes up every year from the same gumps.

Wade will have yet another 20/5/5 50% shooting type season, along with a couple steals and block. He'll also win his fourth title.

Next.

Way too early to judge. A troubling trend is that he relies on cheap buckets more in this past year though.

[Brook(lyn)Lopez]

I don't know if he is done or not yet (trending that way so far) but he would be a lot better off longevity wise if he had taken developing a consistent outside shot and mid range game more seriously.

Didn't he have surgery this summer?

This. The funny thing is, this topic will continue being brought up every year until Wade inevitably does fall off significantly, and when that happens people will say "I told you so" lol. It's comical at this point.
