You would actually take Wade over Bron?
I think Wade is an outstanding player and one of my personal favourites. But Lebron is the most spectacular thing to happen in basketball since #23.

To me that's just the hype talking, it's like he has to better than everyone else and there is no other option.

Dude 30, 8, and 7 last year? You can't argue with that.

Look at what Wade's done this year, with the improved jumper he's the (barely) superior offensive player, and although he's not the rebounder Lebron is he's just as good an all around player. He's been just as good as James statistically this year, he was injured the past couple seasons.

If you take Wade, expect him to play no more than 50 games for you haha. This guy flies through the air without regard, hence why he has been out for so many games in his career.

2 years ago that was the knock on him, but I've watched the Heat closely to see how he'd do and he's got a vastly improved jumper. Once the Heat pick up a sharp shooting free agent or draft pick he won't have to take as many hits because of the kickout options.

He cant change the way he plays, thats what makes him such a great player. You take that away, and you take a lot away from his game.

Both are great but if you're a GM in 2010 LeBron is your #1 target. Period.

True, he'll always take a beating, but the reason he's scoring more is his jumper has improved so he takes less of a beating. He'll still make those ridiculous drives to the basket just less of them.

Made this a while back, watching sportcenter often I can't help but think this still holds true.
