Gerald Green to the Lakers...

Yeah, I get it, Wade is better than Shaq in his prime. Is that it? If LeBron wants to finally play with a great individual player and it is easily possible, why wouldn't he do it? You think Kobe would have said "NO" to a Odom for Wade swap back when the Lakers didn't have Gasol?

LOL, true that. It's the Laker goggles; they are like blinders to reality.

Kobe wants to beat his competition, not join them...Kobe would definitely welcome Wade to HIS team, but no way in hell would he bolt from LA to join forces with Wade in Miami, and you know that.

--- Quote from: 7even on July 13, 2010, 03:47:42 AM ---One indication that Wade and the Heat respect LeBron's greatness is how Wade gets treated like a new player. He's everywhere with them, holding jerseys and shit as if he was new like them. If the Heat was designed to be "his" team, he'd sit more in the background, acting as if he brought them niggas onto his team. Technically, the Heat was just the only team that was able to sign ALL 3 of them and still pay them nicely with low taxes while having a guy who knows how to win rings and play dirty in Pat Riley. That's why they went there, not because Wade is the man.

LOL...you don't get it, do you?...LeBron finally has someone to defer to, someone who would rather have the ball in his hands in the final minutes, under pressure, someone who would cherish that moment way more than he does. Wade is not a Pau Gasol or a Manu Ginobli, he's a franchise player who you can build a team around...By LeBron agreeing to join forces with Wade, it takes a hell of a lot of pressure off of him to lead the way, and LeBron's leadership has been questioned throughout his career.. this wasn't a way to prove the doubters wrong about that. His willingness to admit that he can't be the sole go-to-guy pretty much just sums up what I (and many other basketball heads) have been saying about him all along...the LeBron apologists just couldn't see it for what it was back then, because you were "witnesses" (LOL) to the most overhyped individual athlete to ever play the game. He's a stat-machine, and that's where it ends...PeACe

I agree with a lot of what you are saying but I think the last couple sentences are a little extreme.
