LeBron/DWade, Possible? Options

[puckthefistons]

I am just throwing this out there because we are in a lull and I am tired of hearing about Wilcox and Butler.

Lebron and DWade just signed 3 year deals, which would allow them to become free agents. Big Ben's contract would have 1 year left on it at that point.
Both have obvious aspirations to be a Bull one day, to varying degrees (Lebron's want to be Michael, DWade from Chi).

Dare I say we could have both?
No, Prolly not... but what if? I'm expecting eventually that in some league a couple top notch players will decide it's not just about the $$$ (they can still get huge endorsements anyway, more than they would playing) and team up to create a unstoppable duo. Imagine Hinrich Wade Lebron Deng Wallace. Imagine.

It'll most likely never happen, but it's fun to dream...

D-Wayde and Lebron are great athlethes and both drive to the basket and get fouled frequently.

I would have to agree that a shooting guard should average at least 5 free throws a game. I don't expect Gordon to be Lebron or D-Wayde but if he could get to the line 5+ times a night and also cut down on his turnovers then I say he deserves to start. Otherwise he deserves to be a great 6th man which he was and still could be.

To start at a position that you are not tall enough for you need to be the exception. The guy that has a talent that nobody else has or that is hard to find. He needs to improve his passing and his dribbling significantly but more importantly he needs to stop making horrible decisions on the court.

I just am not sure if those things can be corrected soon enough or ever. Hopefully his 2 a day workouts this summer will help. But if he doesn't improve I think you delegate him to the bench and if he isn't satisfied then ship him off while his value is still high.
