    With all the talks about were lebron and wade will go, why not switch places?here are some reasons.


    1. There salaries match. wade: $15,779,992 lebron:$15,779,991



    2. They have the same talent only lebron blocks more shots. I dont think there will be any "who got the best" or who got the worst" because they are both great.


    3.They can both lead there teams. Without them there teams are nothing.

    not likely, wade will most likely stay in miami or go to chicago and lebron most likely will stay in cleveland pending how their post season goes

    Okay, assuming they have the same talent - which I disagree with - why would they want to swap places? Why would the teams want to swap them? Lebron has local ties to Ohio. Wade is living in Miami. Both are beloved in their cities.

    You didn't list a single reason either player would want to do this or why either organization would want to do this. Because their salaries match and their similar in talent level is not exactly an argument.

    I don't see it happening, I think wade will either stay in Miami or he'll probably go to Chicago, Lebron will either stay in Cleveland or he'll probably go the Knicks...so Nope for sure

    There is no way they would switch teams. If either of those guys leaves his team this offseason, it's most likely because he doesn't feel the team is good enough to win a championship and he wants to try it somewhere else. Why would the other one then go to that team that isn't good enough to win a championship with a star player of the same talent level?

    I cant see this happening, But the scary thing would be if they decide to play with each other . But im sure both would have max contracts that would cost around 40 Mil together .

    Wade just barely turned 28

    Lebron will be 26 at the end of the year

    Lebron , Kobe > Wade by a margin

    Lebron is still nearly three years younger and hasn't had all the injuries throughout his career that Wade has.

    So, Lebron is bigger, younger, more durable, cheaper ;) , and more talented. But, otherwise, there's no gap between them.

    Most of these articles on LeBron, Wade, and Bosh are ridiculous in terms of what will happen this off-season.

    Nevermind this is not even an article.

    Either way Lebron going to Miami is pretty much slim to none.

    LOL I can see it now:

    Danny Ferry: Hey I have a cool idea! Let's trade LBJ for Wade

    Cavs Owner: Why?

    Danny Ferry: I don't know. I'm just stupid, I guess.

    :rolleyes:

    Despite the fact that the Cavs will be downgrading themselves in terms of age, health and talent, why the hell would Wade want to sign a long term deal with the Cavs? It isn't his hometown, and as far as talent goes Chicago and the Heat themselves offer better talent already.
