Fair enough. We shall see. I do think he'd need two strong options with him, 1A and 1B. You can't see Rose in 7-8 years avging Parker's current numbers?

I think at least one of those things is not likely to happen though and I also think that Lebron is also young and very -- very -- better.
― Alex in SF, Thursday, 16 April 2009 22:30 (fifteen years ago) link
Yeah, but the thing I keep hearing about LJ is that he doesn't want to surround himself with a co-No. 1 type player (otherwise, he and Wade could be teammates, in Miami or, say, NY). Wade, OTOH, is very willing to have someone like LJ or Bosh.
Can't predict, obv., but I think there's a pretty good chance of both those things happening. Most of what I read has Wade happy here and likely to re-sign (that may have changed lately; I haven't kept up). And Miami has the space for a maximum contract. I read about Bosh a lot down here as a very possible acquisition.

(And I know there's noone equal to LJ now; I meant "co-No. 1" 'cause it's easy shorthand).

my nba fantasy is wade coming to the bulls in 2010, forming an unstoppable chicago-bred backcourt that wins a minimum 8peat.
― hope this helps (Granny Dainger), Thursday, 16 April 2009 22:34 (fifteen years ago) link
Yeah, I've heard that as a possible scenario. I'm sure, tho, you've read the most likely thing is him re-signing here.

"You can't see Rose in 7-8 years avging Parker's current numbers?"
I can, but if he does averages Parker's #s in 7-8 years I doubt he'll be his team's #1 option (i.e. he'll need a Duncan or more likely a Beasley--who isn't likely to be as good as Duncan, but you know what I mean.)

"Yeah, but the thing I keep hearing about LJ is that he doesn't want to surround himself with a co-No. 1 type player"
Did Lebron tell you this himself?
― Alex in SF, Thursday, 16 April 2009 22:36 (fifteen years ago) link
I can't imagine Lebron wouldn't be thrilled to be playing with Chris Bosh.
― Alex in SF, Thursday, 16 April 2009 22:37 (fifteen years ago) link
He always uses intermediaries when he communicates with me.

u guys parker is not good enough to be the best player on a championship team except in a detroit 5 all stars style line up - i could def see rose being as good as parker - thats not quite superstar good tho
if the last month of beasleys career is indicative of his learning curve hes going to be an absolutely dominant scorer/rebounder - an automatic double team - could easily be an aberration tho - and imo the doubling and tripling wade effect can only be so strong - is anyone else on miami putting up numbers nearly like beasleys in any way - no they are not - shawn marion for instance certainly didnt benefit from any particular wade effect
a wade/rose back court is interesting to think abt - weve never seen anything quite like it - itd be slightly undersized and not great from distance but fuck they would just punish u off the dribble and in transition - chicago would still need someone to score on the block imo to make the opposing D pay for overplaying the perimeter - but at that point a serviceable guy would do - like leon powe or whoever - also shooters obv need them always - lol chicago is a pretty poorly assembled team

i don't think wade and rose would complement each other well, they have a really similar skill set (tho wade is 1000x times more talented obv)
