There are multiple reasons why Dwyane Wade would leave Miami for LeBron. The
real question is would you forgive him if he does so.
The relationship between Dwyane Wade and LeBron James is one that the NBA
has never seen before. Sure, Magic Johnson was friends with Larry Bird, as
was Michael Jordan with Charles Barkley but in this social media driven age,
have you seen anything like the public affection that Wade and James have
shared since 2003?
Which leads me to this question. "Can you forgive Dwyane Wade if he leaves
Miami for Cleveland?"
From 2003 to 2010, Heat and Cavs fans witnessed two up and coming elite
stars competing with affection for each other. Wade won his first
championship in 2006, and one of the best games from that season came when
Wade scored 44 to LeBron's 47. When James was going to the Finals in 2007,
he texted Wade seeking advice along the way.
From 2010 to 2014, Heat fans witnessed how close their friendship was. We
saw stellar plays on the court while there was a brotherhood off the court.
"They're like Siamese twins, whenever you see one, you know the other is
nearby" said point guard Mike Bibby when he was their teammate in 2011.
You would think after James left to go back home in 2014, their friendship
would take a hit as a result. Instead we've seen Wade interviewing James for
the All-Star Game and then after Game 2 of the NBA Finals. Instead of
animosity, these two are hugging it out before tip off and hanging out
between timeouts. In 2010, Wade and Chris Bosh told James they didn't want
to play in Cleveland.
Now for Wade, that may no longer be the case.
Story Line
"Bigger than basketball" has been the common theme for these over their 12
year relationship. Which makes it obvious to me that loyalty isn't as strong
as as you would think. James left home to be in Wade's house. James is back
home and I'm sure he's talked to D-Wade about coming to his home now.
When James left Miami, only the people of Miami felt some sort of betrayal.
The national narrative labeled him a hero for going from South Beach to
northeast Ohio. The same could be said for D-Wade, because the story will be
spun in a way where friendship trumps all. The cool story will be how
strong of a bond these two have, not the view of how Miami feels losing star
players in back-to-back seasons.
Star Value
D-Wade is no longer an elite player in this league. While he was one of the
best shooting guards in the East, he didn't even make the All-NBA third team
. There is star power in getting paid while joining the Los Angeles Clippers
or New York Knicks, but the brightest star is in Cleveland and that's
because that star can shine in June for the next five seasons. That type of
shine can only benefit the value for Wade himself. In Miami, Wade would be
the loyal player but not on a national scale. He would just be mentioned
whenever James (or another superstar) is in town. If he teams up with James,
Wade is mentioned just about every night for the next three years.
Pat Riley
Players praise Riley. Coaches admire him. He is every mobster boss nickname
you can think of. For once though, he may also be the reason why D-Wade is
no longer in Miami. Two years ago in his exit interview, Riley challenged
LeBron to have guts and stay the course. Clearly James didn't take those
words kindly.
This past season, Riley ended his exit interview challenging D-Wade to
change the narrative created about him. Which pretty much meant "You need to
stop missing games." I'm assuming Wade didn't take kindly to that either.
LeBron, two time champion being challenged. D-Wade, 12 year face of the
franchise being challenged. In a league where players run everything, Riley
went old school. Is Riley outdated in today's cautious approach? Maybe. As a
result, he may have his star player leaving him with an empty sky.
Conclusion:
Financially, I don't know how the Cavs can pay Wade without jettisoning some
of their restricted free agents. I also don't care how Wade fits into their
offense. What I do know is that every day that passes by with Wade and the
Heat not hashing out a deal leading up to the start of free agency is
another day where the possibility of Wade to leaving to join LeBron becomes
stronger.
So Miami, will you forgive him if he plays with his best friend? | w*q

韦德也可以在ESPN找一个解说的位置。
