"Dwyane Wade's Historic Season Proves He's Still Elite NBA Star"

[aj1987]

Yet nobody is expressing even the slightest interest in signing him.

I value what teams do, not by what geeks think.

If Wade could shoot threes, he'd have a lot of suitors, but without that shot he is Evan Turner.

Nobody is looking at him, because he's singing with the Heat. It is pretty much guaranteed that Miami is gonna sing him in a couple of days. Wade's not going anywhere. Players like Shaq, Bosh, LeBron are gonna come and go, but Wade is staying with the Heat till he retires.

Since you value what teams do, how are you gonna feel when the Heat (the team which MADE LeBron) resigns Wade?

He has Lebron feeding him all those open looks and drawing the defence. He also rested every couple of games... Where was he in the finals??

"The natural tendency might be to think that Wade benefited substantially from having played with LeBron James. But the facts tell a very different story. Wade logged 1,775 minutes on the season, of which only 1,161, or 65%, were played alongside James. Both Wade and James shot better than 50% from the floor in those 1,161 minutes, but, oddly, both shot better from the floor when they didn’t play together.

Another natural tendency might be to think he’s cherry-picking easier shots. But you’d be wrong for thinking that. Wade’s 14.1 shot attempts per game ranked him 38th in the league in that category, and 10th at his position. As time marches on, he’s moving progressively further away from the basket – he took the smallest allocation of his shot attempts from inside of five feet in the Big Three era this season, and replaced them with the biggest allocation of shot attempts from between 10 and 20 feet in the Big Three era."


Do you idiots even read?

You'll see how elite Wade is when Lebron doesn't come back and the Heat finish 10th in the EAST.

Yeah, because Kobe wasn't an elite player in '05, right?

The 2 major issues with Wade is that he isn't capable of playing anywhere close to a full season anymore. And you never really know when his body will suddenly start looking old. I mean, for the most part, when he did play, he looked good last season. And then the finals happened. Also, with him constantly needing to be rested, you're jeopardizing a lot of things with him in and out of the lineup(chemistry, homecourt advantage, upsetting LeBron more). He just isn't that reliable as the #2 man on a team with championship aspirations anymore.

The fallacies of 1 & 2 have already been shown to be just that. Read the thread in the future before making yourself look like a full-blown retard.

Wade's TS of 58.8% was good but hardly historic. Jordan had 4 straight seasons with a TS of 60+ scoring more points.

Reggie Miller's career average TS was 61.4%. Ray Allen beat Wade's TS every year he was with Boston. Allen's career average TS is 58%.

Wade can't shoot 3s and rarely took them which made his FG% look good.

[JtotheIzzo]

problem with this is that Wade only played when Wade was ready to play, rarely if ever played back to backs and was always rested playing on 54 games or something. also, rarely faced a top defender during the season.

put any prime NBAer in that type of cushy situation and watch their numbers spike.

Not saying he didn't do it, just saying it wasn't as hard as most other NBA player's season.
