TFoA Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Dwyane Wade's out for the rest of the season so he can get surgery on his knee. No link yet, just saw it on ESPN.Miami should tank. They have a darn good chance of finishing dead last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eye Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I don't think I've ever seen go from the best to the worst this fast in my life. TFoA, they don't even have to tank it; I doubt they'd be able to win even if they tried at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hartfordwhalers2k8 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I think this is a good thing. Wade has no need to play now. Count your losses, rest up and get ready for next season, which will be with Michael Beasley. This can also give more guys experience. Not surprising and not a bad move.

jr79 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Is shutting down Wade the first clear tanking move of this NBA season? Or does Memphis trading Gasol for magic beans qualify? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 Is shutting down Wade the first clear tanking move of this NBA season? Or does Memphis trading Gasol for magic beans qualify?I agree with Greg Popovich. I mean, that REALLY was a stupid trade. Why would you trade a guy like that not only in conference, but to Kobe Bryant and the Lakers?! That was seriously idiotic, they basically gave the Lakers a trip to the Western Conference Finals, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starchild Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I think this is a good thing. Wade has no need to play now. Count your losses, rest up and get ready for next season, which will be with Michael Beasley. This can also give more guys experience. Not surprising and not a bad move.That's what Boston and Memphis thought last year with Oden and Durant. I wouldn't be surprised to see Miami tank (which they obviously are, they're not even trying to hide it) and get the 5th overall selection. But if they DO get number one, a core of a healthy Wade, Shawn Marion and Michael Beasley is pretty intimidating.
