    No. Wes, CJ and future 1st rounder would be great though.

    wes and batum? hell no. he'll break down on us asked to be a full time 35 MPG starter.
    I mentioned in another thread though that trying to S&T for him could be our pippen type of trade, but I imagine with Bosh re-upping in Miami, he'll just stay there, and they'll carry on together as a 5th/6th seed in the east.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I also kinda feel this way, but with less vehemence. When he's fully healthy, he's still a good (not great) player. But he now annually breaks down, at which point he's pretty terrible. And as he ages, he's only going to break down more often.

    As an impact player, I pretty much consider him done. He can still give you flash games, but I wouldn't trade much of value for him...and I wouldn't even take him for free if he gets a deal anywhere near the max.

    Paul Allen seems to have a hard on for Batum and now it appears for CJ to.

    Any package not including Nic, LA and Dame. Yes.

    With Bosh committing he ain't going anywhere.

    Wade would have nothing to worry about. Stotts loves to play the bench, so no heavy minutes for Wade and his achy knees.

    I wouldn't want him for Wes and Batum. Maybe as a super sub if he would do it.

    I'd take him for the vet minimum. He looks fat old and slow to me (and hey, it takes one to know one).

    This has to be a joke. Wade is now a back up. He is like Broy his last year. Good 1 every 5 games.
