    lol, talk about pipe dreams. Going along with it though, the thing I like the most about adding someone like Wade is that it brings everyone's minutes down. If Harden, Gordon, CP3 and wade got equal time at both guard spots, everyone would play 24 minutes. More realistically, Wade and Gordon play closer to 20 and Harden/CP3 play more like 28.

    The downside though: Wade will surely expect his role/time to go up in the playoffs when he turns it on. Will he be upset if that doesn't always happen?

    It would probably be similar to last year when we ran a 4 guard lineup of Harden, Beverley, Williams and Gordon. Sometimes we ran two of them together, sometimes we ran three. Wade is more than capable of playing the three in certain lineups.

    Maybe the Wade news opens up the possibility we add Gordon to the mix in the Melo trade?

    Agreed. Fine if we get him, but don't think it makes Eric Gordon available now.

    Now if wade is bought out quickly and signs with us quickly, then maybe. And at that point I think it's more about a bid for lebron then anything else.

    About as exciting as the potential for Astros landing Verlander.

    Like anything of this nature, the insider can be legit, but most of the stuff they hear probably won't be. As long as they're not like cnn or wapo and think every source is telling the truth, it's good.

    If only all the people who were insistent that Ryno had value were right instead of being terribly wrong, this would all be over by now.

    Alas, here we are. Still trying to get someone to give up something valuable for his ass.

    I don't think Ftw is a girl but who knows. That would be one foul mouthed lady. @Plowman has always been one of my favorite posters so not sure what you are getting at. Bbhollic you are the guy that states your opinion as fact and spews around BS fake news as you pretend to have sources.
