@justin Wade shot / scored a bit better with Shaq. He also shot a bit less than he does now. I don't think playing with Bosh will improve his FG% as much or that his shots necessarily go down either.

But keep in mind, the Heat still have to contend with the Thunder. If LBJ lands in Miami, they’ll certainly be the favorite to win it all, but there are still some very good teams left to contend with them. I believe from the Western Conference, the Thunder will be one of them next year.

@justin agreed! I didn't mean to imply that i didn't think they would be great together. I like Wade, he seems like a guy who deserves success.

@justin I agree, it will be fun to watch Wade with a little help.

Davy :@justin I don’t know if it is fair to compare bosh (or anyone really) to shaq. He was one of a kind if you ask me.

Shaq was on his decline by that point. Obviously, Chris Bosh is nothing like Shaq, I just meant as overall impact. Wade's wasted a few years of his career with no help. I'm happy he'll finally have some.

justin :@Bryan Wade is just far more efficient, better on defense at this point. Kobe’s productivity has dropped and that should continue…

I understand, I just think it’s hard to quantify Kobe’s presence on the court. I don’t know that there are many players with his ability to make coaching decisions and adjustments on the court, on the fly. Until he starts losing in the playoffs or missing them altogether, I think it's hard to say anyone is really better.

@j-mo Just my opinion. Wade won a title with non-prime Shaq as a young'un. Is Chris Bosh that much worse than 2006 Shaq?
