It'll be interesting to see how Wade's knees look by the end of next season. If he's wearing down I'm not sure LeBron will want to sign on for 4 years of Wade declining and these minimal pieces and parts due to being maxed out.

I think it comes down to Riley having another trick up his sleeve more than anything. If he can convince Wade to play out this deal while getting Bron / Bosh to re-sign it would give them flexibility to re-sign Wade at a more team-friendly deal after 2 years and hopefully add other parts.

There is nothing structurally wrong with his knees and his injury isnt even the same as last season if I'm not mistaken. He just has a bone bruise that won't be gone until the offseason.

Tanking an entire season for Wiggins is something only people on message boards think happens in real life. Its akin to moving Zach Thomas to Safety. Now, if they're in the bottom-5 after 60 games, maybe they sit someone on the bench due to an "injury", but smart, comptetitve FOs don't tank an entire season. Not from the jump.

Not an NBA fan?

It happens every time a transcendent talent is available.

The Cavs have very much tanked the last two years. They didn't sign a bench. They held guys out for hilariously long stretches for minor injuries.

Kyrie admitted as much at the end of the year - media asked him about a phantom injury and he said 'Let me guess, Im out 4-6 weeks now'

man the pacers really own the nba refs it seems like 1st the knicks series now these hilarious calls in this game

Lotta brain farts tonight from the Heat.

Contrary to popular belief, David West has never committed a foul in his life. Too bad the refs and everyone else can't see that.

Ugly game tonoght

...and it's that's not flagrant. Wow.

Cool. Both sides can play that game. Just yank people's arm. Get at it, Mayor and Birdman.

Hilarious! The refs want this to be about them. Screw the teams playing...

West deserved that nut shot. Basically threw his entire lower body into Cole.

Any word on Chalmers?

**** me its OT.

wow what a lucky ass shot holy ****

Damn, what a shot by George.

They need to pry that horseshoe out of George's ass. Then they can worry about defense.
