Dear DWade, How are you? How is supercool Beas? Its been a long time since you won that championship...... Been kind of rough in Miami the last couple years eh? I am sure you are looking forward to this season, you guys have a lot of hope to make the playoffs and then be bounced by your old friend Shaq and the best sidekick he has ever had. Or maybe a one-way ticket out of the playoffs stamped by KG and his band of veterans? Either way, your not going to win much, but hey, neither is my team. See, here is the thing Mr. Wade, the nightlife in Miami is dull when you are coming off a loss (which you will be a lot of nights) and thats really the whole allure of the city. I am a big Rockets fan, and we don't have Pat Riley here, but we do have Daryl Morey and Rick Adelman. And we don't have the nightlife, but Houston does have a lot going for it (as many NBA'ers who live here will attest to). We also have Yao Ming going for it, remember the last time you were teamed up with a good center? You were a superstar and Shaq only had to play second fiddle. Funny I should mention that, because we have a center here, who could probably be more effective if given that same role and opportunity. Antoine Walker, Gary Payton nice guys, but headaches! We have the ultimate collection of hard working and quiet role players here. The dirty work and defense are already done! And thats where you would come in, because we do need a good dose of IT. Meaning a #1 guy. A leader, someone who will attack and play our game. Pat Riley has been enslaving you for a while. No talents been brought in...... We know you want to win. All it will take is a little desire from you, to be here. We will have the money, if you want it. But we mostly want to win, and we have everything we need, except yourself. Regards Rockets fan
I agree with "TheGreat".....I mean come on we got T-Mac when he was 25 and healthy, coming of winning the scoring title, and was considered one of the top three player in the NBA........If we trade for D.Wade(who's 27 btw, will be 28 in a couple of months) its going be like a two or three year window, specially given how he plays, he might get injured and drop from elite status....and all will have is another injured player with a huge contract PS. I vote no for D.Wade.....Id rather go after Rudy G. or some other young player with all-star potential.... -rocketblaze
You guys are nuts. The letter may seem a little nuts, but if we could parlay T-Mac's contract into D-Wade we would be instant contenders. Even if he only has a 2-3 window, I would take it. At least I would be sure that he wouldn't dog it like T-Mac does at times. D-Wade has a Kobe Bryant level work ethic, and dare I say it, a bigger overall impact on the game. If he can carry the Heat on his back then I am sure he could get us to the Western Conference Finals at least and give someone there a run for their money. The last time he made it that far, he put his team on his back and had the best NBA Finals performance ever. You guys are seriously nuts if you wouldn't want him vs. any other player in the league besides Lebron.
dwayne wade is not going to have a very long career like a kobe or lebron... b/c his style of play is too physical. however, he changed his style of play as teh season went along last year to a more perimeter game (jacked up 8 3s per game in the playoffs) so it could change. regardless, if dwayne wade wants to come here, you lay out the red carpet from miami to houston. anytime you can get a top 5 player, you get him.
what?! getting old? dude what the hell r u talking about... t mac?. d wade isint gettin old.. he has a long way to go. If u mean once you are born you begin to get older than yea...
D-Wade is someone I'll go after. Besides, between him and Lebron, I think D-Wade is much better and more clutch.
If this thread would not have been created i would have probably been the one to do it. Personality wise and skill wise he is just what we need.
Lol, I do not think he means enslaving in terms of doing something without getting paid. Thanks for the laugh though.
I'm in. I've wanted him here for a while now. I think if he does leave Miami, he'll go to Chicago. Man, I hope he comes here.
Just food for thought....DWade, without Shaq, has lead his team to exactly one more playoff series win then TMAC. In the playoffs: TMac - PPG FG% RPG APG 28.5 43.0 6.9 6.2 DWade - PPG FG% RPG APG 25.7 47.4 5.3 5.9 Just saying... but seriously I would love DWade but like was mentioned earlier the cat is going to Chicago or staying in South Beach.
