What would you think of the Miami Heat Organization if they traded Dwyane Wade

[TylerSL]

I wouldnt be thrilled with them. Wade can still play at a very high level. If he gets washed up by the time he is 34, it wouldnt be fair to just get rid of him cuz of everything he has done.

[SportsFanatic10]

i had noticed alot of Heat fans

good call

good one!

[JordansBulls]

I'd say they are a shitbag organization.

My thinking as well. They would lose respect for any stars wanting to go there again.

^ Precisely why they won't trade him. HEAT are one of the top notch organization in the NBA from top to bottom. I don't believe Riley would tarnish what he has built.

As a fan, and regardless of how enticing that proposition might be, I would be disappointed if Wade is traded.

[HiphopRelated]

they won't

[sep11ie]

I'd love it if they traded him to Cleveland.

It would show the rest of the NBA that the organizations are truly above the players, all they need to do is stand up for themselves and not let their franchise's futures get handcuffed by certain players.

Say wade is on the decline, he is owed 17, 18.5, 20.5, and 22 million for the next 4 years. People think Lebron doesn't have enough help now, it won't get any easier in like 2014-15 when they have a 33 year old wade who gets paid over 20 million taking up over 33% of the cap.

I'm not saying Wade is actually declining now, but its quite possible over the next few seasons he does quite a bit.

I like how JordansBulls gives absolutely no credit to Shaq for that 06 championship.

People have to understand that it was both Shaq & Riles running that team.

Shaq was the one who told Riles that Eddie Jones was a proven playoff choker and should have been traded, so Riles made the trade to get Posey and Williams from Memphis.

Shaq was the one who enticed guys like GP and Toine to come as he was friends with them for a long time.


Zo looked at the chance to rejoin Riles and not have to carry much burden as much as he once had to has the franchise player in Miami by just backing up Shaq and giving good minutes off the bench.


It was Shaq who helped with the growth of UD and taught him the intangibles of being a productive big man in this league.


It's Shaq who I feel is responsible for creating the culture of attracting superstars to Miami as when he was given the option of where to be traded in 2004, he picked Miami out of all the places because he knew that him and Riles could create championship magic. He's the one who paved the way for guys like Bosh and LeBron eventually joining the Heat 6 yrs after he did it. He created that culture, not D-Wade.


And with his past successes and failures with Kobe, Shaq taught D-Wade how to be a winner, and it was Shaq's presence that created those open lades for Wade because Shaq was the hugest force that garnered the most attention. Shaq made Wade into a better player and a championship player.



Shaq does not get his due for what Miami basketball is today, and that's a real shame. If it wasn't for Shaq basically changing that entire Miami Heat culture, D-Wade with LeBron and Bosh would still be vying for that first championship.

Shaq has never taken the time to teach another player anything. He is and always has been about himself and attention. He just happened to be really good too.
