Of course they matter, and they come into play. But I think the crutch my point rested on was the quantity of NBA writers who noticed the same thing, meaning it wasn't trivial or minute.

Oh the Wade thing? Yeah I still stand by that, especially with some of the names that were listed in that top 25. But you have your opinion and I respect that.

SMH at the past ten pages. Idk how a player is still considered elite when he can't play more than 60% of the season, but whatever.

Anyways, wonder how long until Bosh/Wade make a decision on their contracts.

Agreed. To me that will make LeBron's choice a littler more clear, in terms of staying or going.

If Both stay in, I think he leaves, if they both opt out, I see him leaning toward staying

The sad part is that how robj thinks about Dwyane Wade isn't even close to the worst sports opinion about a player on the OC this month. That honor goes to gut for saying Pete Rose is a borderline hall of famer. Try harder next time rob, lol.

It was on the Serious Business Forum about Bud Selig maybe reinstating Rose. He compared Pete Rose to Hines Ward and said if he didn't play his last 5 years(would have ended with roughly 3650 hits) that people wouldn't be talking about him going to the hall of fame. He wouldn't back down from it either, it was comical.

You really should go read the thread when you have 15 minutes to kill. He even says it's just Reds homers who think he's so great when it's mostly Indians fans killing him. It's a HoF thread one day for sure.

Bahahahahahahhsha. Pete Rose not a HoFer. Jesus Christ.

I think he is overvalued, but that's because I prefer a great hitter with power, so I would never have him in my top whatever of hitters. But not a HoFer??? He is 1st fucking ballot.

He's the Hines Ward of baseball. He only is considered a HoF'er because he played 20+ seasons.

Good god that argument was so bad.

Wade is a top 25 player? LOL

He's complete trash. I'd rather have Waiters with 1 hand over Wade any day of the week. You can throw Bosh in the garbage can too.

wildcats20;1629623 wrote:What does D Wade do that is elite?
He's pretty fucking elite at missing games because his body is too broke down to handle a full season any more!!!!!

I mean, that's the hilarious thing about these last few pages. A player CAN'T be a Top 25 player in any league with any real talent if you have to rest them the second game of back-to-backs to keep them healthy and they still can't handle the rigors of a postseason. I mean, if one wanted to say that if you had one game with everyone at 100% effectiveness, that he'd be a Top 25 pick, that's one thing...but we're talking about overall, not a one-game bubble isolated from everything else, because that just never happens in reality.

He's a good player who is very talented, but he is just physically decimated to the point where his value is nowhere near what it was even a handful of years ago.

lol, that says it all there about the East. 1 guy can't stay healthy, one is pathetic on def one way player and the other might crack top 20 in the West. East is garbage.

Honestly, give John Wall a look.

But the answer is clearly Dwyane Wade.

Paul George, Kyrie Irving, John Wall or DeMar DeRozan. None have shown anything above just being very good though. All can get better and accomplish more than they have thus far...

Paul George has shown to be better than very good. Just hasn't been able to do it consistently for more than like a month.
