Wade is from '82. Kobe is from '78. It's not that much difference, man.. In 2 years Kobe will be 29. He can play good basketball till he'll be 32-33, so it's about 5-6 other years.. it's enought time to build a new team around him. Obviously Wade is younger, but in 2 years Miami will have to rebuild a new team around him, cause Shaq will be 35.
If in 2 years Lakers will be contenders, then hell yeah, to get ridd of Shaq's contract was a smart move. But it's just to stupid to judge on the move without judging on a project.

Wade will improve drastically while I dont think that Kobe will ever become more impressive than he already was (with shaq).

To the mature young man who came up with 'D. Wack', you sir are my new hero.Kobe is a better player at this point, but in a season or 2 Wade will be right there with Amare, Lebron, Parker, Ginobili as the superstars of the NBA. To those who said Wade was average before he got with Shaq, did you forget Wade last season, killing it in the playoffs etc as a rookie. Or is it because his name wasnt LBJ or Carmelo?Wade has true superstar potential, and with the big fella alongside of him he has the opportunity to succeed early in his career. Kobe (innocent or not) will forever be guilty by association. That colorado shit ruined him. Brought down his image 10000%. Probably 50% of the NBA cheat on their wives, Kobe got unlucky it would seem. I dont think his image will ever recover from that, which is a shame. If Wade can keep his slate clean, he could out-do LeBron James. Wade has killer instinct, LeBron hasnt really shown that yet.Anyways, Kobe vs. Wade is a good discussion, and both players are insane

Kobe>Lebron>>Wade>>>>>Carmelo
