Is Wade a top 5 player?

zsr · 02-21-12, 10:26 PM

You'd start a franchise with him now?

I would have 4-5 years ago. Not now.

Go talk the Bobcats and see what they say if you ask them, " Would you like to have Dwyane Wade on your team, and build around him"?

ttwarrior1 · 02-21-12, 10:33 PM

Well of course. If someone gives you Dwayne wade you'll take him, but im not sure he'd be in the top 10 of guys your starting a franchise with

Name 20 players better than wade.

All the best player in the league, top 5, etc arguments are based on personal preference anyway. There's a legitimate case for probably 5 guys to be best player in the league. All based on who/what you prefer.

DemoralizdDreamr · 02-21-12, 11:51 PM

Lebron
Kobe
Durant
Wade
Rose

Top 5 NBA players

Rubio
Pekovic
Love
Wes Johnson (actually probably should be on the list for worst 5, yet he still starts?)
Ridnaur

Mikail · 02-22-12, 12:19 AM

IMO Wade is the best player in the game at the moment with Derick Rose right there too.

theblueprint · 02-22-12, 12:22 AM

InTheDrink · 02-22-12, 12:23 AM

No Darko?

How the hell David Kahn was able to construct a winning team and one with a great future is beyond me. Seemed like he tried to blow it multiple times, Darko, beasley, Flynn, etc. What a terrible GM.

If they had any sense, Heat trade Lebron for Howard and run for a championship with him Wade and Bosch

Speedy88 · 02-22-12, 12:38 AM

He was a top 5 player until lebron and bosh came to Miami.

If anything, trade Wade. Heat are 7-1 without him playing this season.

Djstucky · 02-22-12, 12:45 AM

Top 5...no...I would say top 15 at best...

I would agree here...these two make some amazing plays while on the court at the same time however James is the better player and seems to be more dominate when wade isn't playing so wade would have to go...

zsr · 02-22-12, 12:49 AM

The espn guys reported Orlando wouldn't take anyone but LBJ for Howard if there going to deal with Miami.

DemoralizdDreamr · 02-22-12, 12:53 AM

if wade leaves miami, im becoming a hater. not like anyone gives a fuk

Mac4Lyfe · 02-22-12, 01:01 AM

If you look at the PER rating, Lebron is #1 and Wade is hovering at #2 and #3 between him and Durant.

I thought it interesting that Jeremy Lin is on the list and it had him with 19 games. I didn't know he played that many games this year. Ginobli is on the list only playing 9 games.

Hollinger puts everyone on there regardless of games played he said, just obviously take the people with only a few games with a grain of salt.

I think that shows how underrated durant is, everyone thinks he just a scorer, he's an all around superstar.

You can not win with dfade

BUT..the time they were done rebuilding he'd be long over the hill..get it?

Marigold HD · 02-22-12, 05:33 AM

**** no. Never. Maybe 14th best

as far as who i would want taking the shots last minute of a game- kobe, wade, rose, durant, lebrick

the grim · 02-22-12, 07:39 AM

wade def top 5 in nba!!!

seaborneq · 02-22-12, 07:47 AM

Wade is saving himself for some reason. He is a top 30 player the regular season and first two rounds of playoffs, and a top 3 player in conference finals and finals.

Smoke · 02-22-12, 08:26 AM

Fukk wade

manny24 · 02-22-12, 08:48 AM

right now durant over anyone in the league.

freeVICK · 02-22-12, 09:09 AM

ask lebron if he has change for a dollar. he would answer "nope, only got 3 qrts"
