Heat are 10-1 without him. You have to talk about it, what can they get for this guy? Dwade for Dwight wouldve been great for the heat. Derron Williams would work too

[scbe2223Participant]

 I don’t think Miami would trade him unless someone blew them away with an offer. Whether or not keeping him is smart is an entirely different question. That being said, the city would revolt if the heat traded him. So it won’t happen.

[TyroberParticipant]

 The HEAT actually look better when its LeBron and Bosh or Wade and Bosh. Wade and Lebron do so much of the same thing and Bosh looks great at a 2nd option and lost at times as a 3rd option. I do not think they would ever trade Wade or LeBron, but if they got Deron Williams or Dwight Howard then I think it would make them a more rounded and dangerous team.

[EuroBallParticipant]

In Cleveland all Lebron needed was Chris Bosh but he choose to go team up with wade and bosh in Miami. Lebron messed up his legacy in my eyes. Still an amazing player.

Dwyane Wade’s been on the Heat for 9 years. There are some players that usually don’t get traded. Look at Paul Pierce for example. He’s been on the Celtics for 14 years. If they wanted to rebuild they could have traded him a year or two ago, but they keep him out of respect for what he’s done for the city. If you look at other sports, you will rarely see a franchise player, like a Wade or Pierce, get traded. You will, however, see them walk out on their team. Take Pujols and Manning for examples. Pujols left for more money and a larger market. Manning left as well so he could get to play again.

 

As for trade value, I don’t think Wade could get dealt for Howard. Wade is a 22-5-5 player, but he is 30. I think at best, he could get dealt for a first rounder and a couple of promising prospects. You wouldn’t see any team trading their own superstar, like Dwight Howard, for a 30 year old SG.

I feel if the Heat don’t win the title this year, their management is going to panic and trade one of the big 3.  And it makes the most sense to trade Wade, unfortunately.

[JunkYardDogParticipant]

the heat will NEVER trade wade…. if there is one player the heat trade away, it would be bosh.

LeBron would never accept to see wade traded away.

[PulseGlazerParticipant]

Wade is the one who convinced everyone to come to South Beach, though I agree this team would be better with another, less ball dominant big time player.  Strangely, Ty Chandler fits better than Wade despite being nowhere near the player.  Someone needs to, by the way, explain this to the Kings.

[Tongue-Out-Like-23Participant]

The Heat would rather trade LeBron over Wade.  Although LeBron is better/younger, the entire state of Florida would go underwater before they trade Wade.  Heat fans would definitely riot, even if they do get Dwight or Deron Williams.  

Wade County.

Mistrust…Who would want to go? Lets just say for example the Heat go to the finals and lose in a Game 7 to the Thunder. And in the offseason they shopped D- Wade?? No one shops a 20+ ppg player !! Only teams that are looking to blow up the entire teams would do something like that. Ex( KG and Ray Allen)

[DurantsWingspan]

LeBron and D-Wade just are way too similar and do not mix well. Many less talented players I think would help them better than Wade, just because they would be a better team. Someone like a Joe Johnson comes to mind. Anyone who can play a catch and shoot role, or the anchor of the defense role, would be a big help. But with that being said, the Heat will NEVER trade Wade or LeBron. And that leaves Bosh, who really shouldn’t be traded because his value isn’t as high as it should be and he fits in pretty well actually. But even though they don’t fit in well together, I think their talent level is so high that they still will win it this year and probably many to come.

We need to be talking about Amare’s trade value

[HitsterParticipant]

 I just don’t see Pat Riley ever agreeing to trade D-Wade, the guy is a legend with the Franchise and the fans love him. If anyone is moved then it would likely be Bosh.

Fun scenario there is a C on a nearby team who may move on soon, could one of Miami’s big 3 be sent the other way perhaps?

[PulseGlazerParticipant]

Wizkid – why? Amare has NO trade value.  His contract is huge and uninsured.

[bobbybParticipant]

Exactly i agree Pulse, This is why i was going crazy when everyone said the Suns owner was being cheap. The Suns offered more money than the Knicks. So they put minutes clause in there and he didnt go for it. The Knicks signed Amare out of desperation because they just blew up the entire team and needed a superstar

[dede21]

 It is tough he is killing the team but is popular kind of like the Tim Tebow or Derek Jeter of basketball
