    Vet min only. Maybe he can play games late in the season when we need to rest guys. Can’t be any worse than JJ was last season, unfortunately.

    I would, like yesterday. We can use whatever's left in his tank, and his presence in the locker room, on the bench, or on the court would be invaluable.

    Yes, please. Get him for the minimum, Daryl. :cool:

    If he plays again this year, it will most likely be with Miami. He's already got one foot in retirement.

    I hate Dwayne Wade, but I would definitely sign him if available for cheap. Definitely.

    Bro..... wade is washed.

    But I would do it for the team building efforts. Vet min.

    And that’s if he is last resort.

    If Miami ends up not wanting wade and lakers are also out it’s a pretty good possibility Wade signs with us.

    He doesn’t really fit though as he actually has a pretty terrible shot unless he’s fading away from the basket but he could create some drives and still a very high IQ passer. Plus his defense even for his age is actually pretty good. Could be a pretty good asset for us at the guard position defensive wise.

    This would be a life long dream for me as Dwayne Wade has been one of my favorite players.

    I'm torn. DWade's championship experience would be a real plus (w/ Ariza gone) and he still has game, especially if we limit his minutes. So if he's a vet min guy, who wants to play with Paul and Melo (maybe) that would be some nice insurance.

    To play Devil's Advocate: Wade is past his prime and is more of a 20ft and in guy. His presence would likely reduce or squash any minutes for Melton and thus hinder his development. Also, the chance he gets injured increase at his age.

    If you consider MDA's philosophy, it's probably doubtful Melton gets much run any way, so adding Wade gives us another experienced ball-handler and scorer.

    All considered, he probably makes sense for a 1-year vet min deal.
