Where will these guys be in three years?I see both of them at #1 and #2 in the NBA (If they aren't already), and already in the NBA's Top 50 list. I see Dwayne with one championship (From this year) and LeBron with none, however I see them both on contending teamsI see LeBron averaging:32 PPG, 7 APG, 8 RPG on 45% shooting (More shots, ability to hit perimeter shots strangey results in lower FG% most of the time)I see Dwayne averaging:28 PPG, 7 APG, 7 RPG on 48% shooting (By this time he'll have the jumpshot LeBron had this season)
If Wade gets that jumpshot I've been looking for he'll be 32+ points a night, and you have to consider when Shaquille will retire, cause once Shaq is gone Wade is defintely the #1 option and the offense will be based off him.LeBron is LeBron. No telling if he'll improve more and more or keep at the same pace. I say he'll improve and be right around your stats a night.
Wow, i just realised Wade is 24, i was thinking he was younger than that.And in 3 years lebron most likely will be best in the nba. Dwayne maybe 2nd.
I'm not so sure LeBron will have a higher scoring average in three years. I would sincerely hope that Cleveland (or wherever he may be) would have a more solid core of players surrounding him than what he had this season.
Im sure lebron can get more then that. Depending whos on the team. Same thing with Wade. It all depends who else is playing with them. But those to will be crazy. i see melo stats around there to. Maybe 27 and 9rebs
I think scoring wise Melo can and will average what you say, since he averaged about 26.5 this season. I actually think he will even raise it to about 29 point, close to 30 point per game scorer. However i don't think he will ever develop into a 9 rebound per game type player. Look at the fact that his highest rebounding average has been 6.1 his rookie season, and went down each year since, to 4.9 this year, Melo will never get up to 9 rebounds per game.

I'm not going to make any kind of statistical predictions. But in 3 years, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade will be the #1 and 2 players in the NBA. They are both top 10 now, and you could make a strong case for both being in top 5. LeBron has been unreal ever since he came into the league. Wade was overlooked around 2003 draft time, but ended up being the best suprise. He impressed me totally.LeBron does everything. He can give you whatever stat line you want a night, but that's not the most important thing to me. It's his size mixed with his quickness, his maturity, his ability to make others better, his ability to be called "coachable", etc. etc. etc. LeBron is one in a million and he can play 3 positions extremely well, and he might be able to do ok as a 4 at times due to his size and strength. He is a lock for MVP candidate until he is in his mid 30's.Wade is also one of those guys that can give you any stat line and a lock MVP candidate. His athleticism, coordination, and acrobatic shots are truly amazing and they do remind you of Jordan, even if it's for just a split second. He is a better defender than LeBron, he can play both PG and SG, he is incredibly quick, he is arguably the best ballhandler in the NBA, he is a warrior, he mates his teammates better. But what I love about Wade the most is how humble he is. He will tell you "nah, it's Shaq's team." and accept it. He is also very likeable (as is LeBron) and is great friends with Shaq.But in 3 years, LeBron and Wade are #1-2 in the NBA no question. They both step up when their team needs them the most, they both are superstars at an early age, both are humble, and both work very hard on their games. They know in their mind they have the talent (they won't say it, but they know it), and they use it to their full advantage and both of them will reach their full potential. It's freaky watching them now and saying "wow these 2 young men are incredible!" The freaky part is, they have only been in the league for 3 years.

I dont really see why Shaq is their first option. I mean hes a great player but if you watch the heat dwade is clearly the first option on that team. As for where LeBron and Wades careers in the future i think they will both be incredible. LeBron will be the best in the league and dwade will be in the top 4 if not the 2nd or third best.

Legendary Players never switch teams that often. Of course these guys will be on their current squads in 3 years. Both of their teams are in good shape. I dont see why either of them would switch boats.
I see both of them signing max contracts with there teams. Like others previously said they will be 1-2 in the NBA. LeBron's maturity is unmatched and the fact that he will only get better is scary. Wade is definitely going to have to step us as soon as Shaq leaves if they don't get another strong center down there.I hope they get LeBron a better supporting cast, a healthy Larry Hughes will be a good start. They also need some help at the 3 where Donny hasn't done to well. They brought both him and Jones after they came off great season but haven't gotten much from them so far.I'm not sure about LeBron winning a ring so soon though, the eastern conference is still strong with Miami, Detroit and both the Nets and Bulls are on the rise right now.Wade has the chance to win a ring this year and he should take full advantage of it because Shaq is getting old. Wade's best chance to win a ring is right now while LeBron's is still going to be decided on his supporting cast he gets.

We have Joey Graham, Chris Bosh, Morris Peterson, Charlie V, lots of money to spend, and the future 1st round pick. It's obvious that we will be good next year and great in the future.

It wasn't like the Warrioirs of last year, turning it on for a month, the Raptors were a decent team for 4 of 6 NBA months. In three years, these young guys will ahve gotten better, they would have got a better coach, and Colangelo would have made a few aquisitions. I don't think they'll be losing
We'll start winning next year. If we can replace Mike James with a decent point guard, and draft Aldridge then I expect us to get the 8th seed next year. Like KMart said though, we do need a better coach than Sam Mitchell.
