Would You Trade Roy For D-Wade Straight-Up?

[ABM]

That question was argued this morning on the MSP.

Tones seems to think that D-Wade is "selfish" and "not a winner". CIP and Jaynes countered that Wade has already won a championship and "what has Roy won?". They also claimed that Wade is a much better all-around player than Roy.

It's an interesting question. Personally, I think I'd have to go with Wade.

 

[Mediocre Man]

I would say yes before they had a chance to change their minds. Wade is a better all around player than Roy, and has won a championship. He get WAY more respect from the officials, and with him here, we could convince Bosh's agent to S&T Bosh here for Rudy, Aldridge and a 1st.

 

[Wheels]

I am thankful for all Roy has done... but I would do it in a heartbeat

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

Dwayne Wade is the 4th best player in the league behind Lebron, kobe, and Howard, and he isnt behind by much

Yes

 

[OneSport3]

Antonio Harvey is a f***** idiot. Thats all I have to say.

 

[The Professional Fan]

'Tone said Wade isn't a winner? That's extremely moronic. Even for 'Tone.

With Shaq he is!

 

[THE HCP]

Id' make the trade just to see Gabriele Union at our home games!

 

[KingSpeed]

Selfish? Wade averages more assists than Roy. He also averages more pointd, blocks, and steals. I would take Wade without even hesitating. Wade's performance in the 2006 NBA Finals was one of the greatest performances of all time. Maybe THE greatest of all time. And that was only Wade's third year in the league!

 

[OneSport3]

Tone said that Tiger Woods is a "winner" despite all of the woman he banged because he apologized for it. While he doesn't think Wade is a "winner" because he is divorcing his wife. Wow. I didn't think he could top himself after he said that Aldridge is better than Dirk.

 

[KingSpeed]

With Shaq he is!

Wade carried Shaq to that title and not the other way around.

 

[tlongII]

Wade is a great player, but he's overrated in my opinion. He commits WAY too many turnovers.

That's ridiculous. He more than makes up with it with his scoring, passing, and defense. Also- Jordan averaged just as many turnovers in his 5th year. He won MVP the year before too with 3.2 turnovers per game. I guess Jordan was overrated too?

 

[KingSpeed]

Oh and two time MVP LeBron averaged 3.4 turnovers per game this season. Is he overrated too? I guess you'd pick Roy over LeBron?

"Tone" is an idiot.

 

[BrianFromWA]

to answer the question, yes. I'd give them Rudy and Bayless and every allowable draft pick from now to 2015. We wouldn't need them.

 

[Pinwheel1]

A healthy Wade is awesome. But those two years he was in and out of the line up (2006-2008) he looked done. Right now he is certainly a super star. He can look selfish because he does not have faith in his teammates. Sounds like some one else we know.

But over all yes Wade is better than Roy. But lets say Wade had been a Blazer for the last few years and he was a free agent this summer.....would he stay here? Hell No. "A bird in the hand."............

 

[Charcoal Filtered]

The Blazers pay his salary. Do you expect him to say anything bad about the face of the franchise?

 

[HailBlazers]

"Tone" is an idiot.

Tone Is Brilliant, he can make a case for just about anything.

I don't see anyone else on here with a radio show. Quick Gather your thoughts, oh wait there's no shot-clock on the internet!

 

[Minstrel]

Absolutely I'd trade Roy for Wade. I think Roy is tremendous...Wade is one of the several best players of his generation.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Wade is a great player, but he's overrated in my opinion. He commits WAY too many turnovers.

By that rationale, Steve Nash, Deron Williams, Lebron James and Rajon Rondo all commit "way too many turnovers" give me a break.

 

[LittleAlex]

I love Roy and all he has done for the team.


That said, you would have to make that deal. Wade is simply a better offensive player then Roy along with being many, many times better at defense.

So yeah, I would trade Roy and just about any other player on the team for Wade. I wouldn't love it but I would have to do it.

Hey Tone! I didn't know that was you.

Be fair--it's one Portland sports radio personality, whom the others roundly criticized for this particular ridiculous opinion. Every market has a homer.

I grew up there and am home enough to know it's:

All he did today was make Jaynes and the other guy look smart. That takes some doing.

 

[alex42083]

Wade selfish? haha.. I would be considering who his teammates are.

Wade not a winner? He's got a ring, enough said.

Tone.. lol. He and MB always try to one up each other for the biggest homer.

 

[LameR]

Yes.

 

[DaRizzle]

lol...a radio personality in POR actually thought this was debatable?

 

[MARIS61]

No.
