The truth behind a trio of James, Wade and Bosh would never work

This article is full of hate and stupidity.

Lets just say that Chicago's super team didn't work, do you know what they could get if they decided to put any of those guys on the market? Oh they need role players? A team like Houston would give them every role player they need just to get any one of Rose, Bosh, Wade (forget about Lebron because he's never going on the market).

 

He's right though, Wade and Rose is one of those disastrous backcourts where you have two awesomely skilled players who each play half the game effectively.

 

This article is so gay, he sounds like somebodies bitter ex girlfriend.

Yes, im sure two of the three best basketball players on earth dont understand basketball.

 

Wade and Rose would adjust to each other. Rose has very good PG instincts and would adjust his game to be more of a facilitator. His scoring would go down and his assists would go up. Wade would adjust by scoring more off picks and slashing while letting Rose handle the ball more. The reduced wear and tear on Wade's body during the course of the season would allow him to take over come playoff time. The two would also switch roles from time to time. They would be the dominant backcourt for years to come. For the sake of comparison, think of Tony Parker and Manu Ginobilli on steroids.

Chemistry-wise on offense, Bosh would be the better addition to those two than LeBron. He doesn't need the ball as much and he plays more of an inside game than LeBron.

The key to their championship aspirations would be defense. When LeBron and Wade focus hard on defense, each guy goes to a ridiculous level. We've all seen highlights of what LeBron can do to people. Wade also makes incredible plays on defense because of his instincts, intelligence and ridiculous athleticism. Makes your head spin. The idea of LeBron and Wade both turning up their defensive intensity on the same team (coached by Thibadeau) would be amazing. Both guys could go all out on both ends of the floor because neither would have to carry 75% of the load on offense with each other and Rose on the team.

IMO, the Chicago "super team" with Wade/LeBron or Wade/Bosh joining Rose, Noah, Gibson, Johnson, etc would work very well.

 

I don't understand why people think just because KG, Ray Allen, and Pierce played together that any other 3 superstars can do it. Don't people realize that they were at the end of their careers and were matured enough to understand whats important.

Bron, Bosh are both 25 and D-Wade is 29. Still in their primes and still honestly want to be the guy. Theres only one basketball. I mean they probably can play but i maybe wrong but i don't see it working out.

Lakers had a dream team roster and lost to Detroit in the finals. Now maybe those guys were old but still.

 

Rose-Wade-LeBron-Noah on the same team would be scary. The only downside would be lack of shooting, but I agree they would be a dominant defensive team.

 

So, we should have lost then, in the Olympics... Right.

 

This guy really loves that ENTER key. Does he have a point? Yeah but it's hidden in 40 stanzas of rant that is just more evidence of how Bleacher is more of a dumpster dive than a credible source.

 

I think LeBron is holding all the other potential max FA hostage at the moment, and holding hostage a score of teams. The summit is more about LeBron' wish to have first pick, and appeasing LeBron. I can't imagine any team, including the Heat, signing someone else if LeBron gives them the go ahead.

So right now, I am sure Wade, Bosh and Johnson are palling around trying to convince LeBron to sign with a team other than their favorites. Saying **** like,"yeah man, come here to Miami and sign and I'll sign too and we can win like 50 championships."

 

Its still an intriguing enough idea to think about that could have success. I think there's a higher likelihood of the trio being BORING to fans, rather than it being a complete team failure.

Everyone looks at the Celtics Big 3. The 2006 Pistons had four All Stars. Not in different years, all in the SAME year. Tayshaun Prince not an All Star though a very good player himself

Comparing a possible LeBosh Wade trio on the Bulls with those Pistons:
C Billups - D Rose
R Hamilton - D Wade
R Wallace - L James
B Wallace - C Bosh
T Prince - J Noah
A talent favor toward the Bulls. Though remember Pistons could have had freaking Carmelo Anthony to that.

What made the Pistons good was the talent committing to DEFENSE. The Bulls would similarly commit to defense with Tom Thibs. Its almost scary to think about all those guys playing fierce D together. Age, athleticism and IQ all on their side...

Thats all on paper though. In the real world there's ego clashes, demands and entitlement issues.

 

remember 2006?

 

2004, actually. But yea, I was trying to forget about it.

I'm not saying a team with D-Wade, LBJ and Bosh would be a guaranteed winner. I just disagree with the OP's prediction that the forming of said team would lead to the certain death and "disaster" of any team that tries to put the three together.

Sure, the OP makes some valid points in the post and the '04 Team was a mess (despite 'weak' international competition), but it's still a stretch to conclude that they can't/won't change their respective games and work together. '08 was still pretty successful after all.

 

My mistake. Guess you were talking about the '06 Worlds

 

if you put wade, rose, and lebron on a team you have 3 players willing to pass. That is over 20+ assist average a night. They can share the ball, the defense on the perimeter would be sick, not to mention noah in the post. Get real op, haters gonna hate

 

Even our own Morey calculated those 3 players on a same team would give about 45 wins or so. Yes its a lot of talent and athleticism, but what makes basketball work is cohesiveness. Especially wade, lebron, rose, those guys are most effective with the ball in their hands and subpar on the offball, there are not many better players than them with teh abll in their hands, but there are much better off ball players with better offball awareness and skils, so this minimizes their strengths and takes away what makes them great, with lebron he is better off with guys who can shoot and run around off ball and just play defense, solid role players like battier and the like than he would be with soemone like rose who is a subpar catch and shoot player....is not as simply as people like it to be whehre ou just put the best scorers together and you get the win, it has to make sense, and fit the puzzle and be cohesive...

 

The article does make a good point. Rose Wade and LBJ have always been the primary ball handler on their respective teams and for example when lebron isn't handling the ball he gets tentative and hangs out on the wing, which pretty much makes him average. It'd be easier to see this working if these guys weren't all basically point guards at different positions like they are.

Having said that it would also be hard to believe that the best players in the game couldn't adapt to their teams needs and become a system of rotating points where the main ball handler changes at any given time and the other two just follow along until it's their turn.

Not sure exactly how it would pan out but it'd be fun to watch either way
