2024 NBA Season

[Finestream]

Who's a fan of Dwayne Wade and Lebron at the same time? these two really has a close bond together.

--> https://www.nba.com/article/2019/09/08/dwyane-wade-los-angeles-work-out-train-lebron-james?collection=news

And aside from they are really close as a friend, Wade moved to Los Angeles that's why he can be involved to LBJ whenever he likes.

But I'm more concern about this:

While Wade says he's "done" playing professional basketball, his trainer is making him stay in shape, "just in case something happens."

"I’m going to stay in shape because you never know," Wade said. "Never say never.”

He is not done yet.

He is not done yet, he can still play if he wants too because for sure there are teams that will be interested to get him.
In his last season in the NBA, he played well although his points average has decrease but there are games where he take over and win the game for his team.

The kind of leadership that he has is a good one, even better than Lebron because he is one of the clutch player in the NBA who have a high IQ in basketball. If you will ask me, I would love to see him play, I don't know if I will like to see him playing with Bron.

Definitely, he still has a lot inside of him and even though he retired already, him and Bron can still play well together. I'm pretty sure if he shows intention for a comeback, a lot suitors will come knocking on his door because he has a lot to offer, specially the leadership part. Let's see how it goes, sometimes players has that final itch that needs to be scratch.

It has happened before, like Michael Jordan, he came back and play with the wizards as his team IIRC.
And this is the list of the famous players who came back after retirement, https://fadeawayworld.com/2018/01/09/top-9-nba-players-that-came-back-from-retirement/

Players in the list that I know since I've witness them play in their era.

1. Michael Jordan
2. Magic Johnson

That's the difference between a player with leadership and a good attitude while playing inside the league, they will make a statement and make the entire associations to go wild and try to sign them up, DWade still on his shape though he's age already slowing him down but the intellectual capabilities is still high,  he can add leadership and good mental guidance to whichever team he will play.

Knicks have been terribly run since 2000, they did have that lucky finals run as the 8th seed in 1999 but ended up losing to the Sours.  That whole ordeal with Isiah Thomas and Stephon Marbury was terrible, they were threatening to bring up dirt on each other.  The carmelo era which was a total letdown, the Jeremy Lin saga that brought them more hype but they didn't get much out of it.   Phil Jackson didn't do much except command a big salary for his "championship experience".  Most fans want Dolan to sell the team already and let someone else run it.

The Carmelo Era was the last time that they've reached the playoffs and after that there's nothing happen until now, the management failed to adjust which leading the team to lose fans and supporters, it's likely to say that nothing much to expect this year as the team mostly composed of new players that needs to showcase their individual  skills, another trial squad with no certain directions just needed to represent the franchise for this season.

They didnt took the risk which is something the fans didnt like.
It is like saying they dont have the money.
Cmon!, you are in New York and we need stars there. They are losing sales because of what they did.
Just the mere of signing in Durant could get you sales in jersey and shoes and a lot more. That is even if Durant aint playing this year.
Giving hope is something that the Knicks fans want right now since it had been a long time since they go for a championship.

What are you talking about?  The knicks are at the salary cap right now they didnt leave money on the books.  Not offering a max contract to Durant might be because of his Achilles injury for a guy who is going to be 31 when the season starts.  I'm ok with them not locking into him.  They have multiple first round draft picks and short term contracts on their books.  They ran into salary cap issues in the past, I'm ok with where they are at.  Let the kids play

He can still play but for me, he should already rest. In the past, Jordan came out of retirement and back to the NBA at the age of 38. Not that he is still in good shape but he is also a part of Washington Wizards franchise. Coming back will boost Wizards sale and it did. Tickets are sold out most of the time throughout the whole season even they are not even close in getting a playoffs spot. That's one of the reason aside from he miss playing basketball, he was challenged (Bryant's story) and donating all of his salaries into 9/11 attacks.

Now to Wade, he is now 37. In today's NBA, I doubt there is a team that will still sign him just because he is good and still in shape. NBA today is more of a business and rebuilding with young cores. And if let's say he will come back, he is 100% a bench warmer. It will give dirt to his legacy if he will just come back accepting a bench role just to play.  I want to see Wade play again but it's better if he will stay retired.

He's done, he even did the whole "last year of my career tour" in everyone's city.  No way he comes back just to be an 11th man coming off the bench in "some" games.  Just because he is staying in shape does not mean that is nba shape.  Nothing keeps you ready for the nba other than training camp on an nba team.  If I were him I'd be just fine with sipping margaritas watching the games from my favorite vacation spot

Now to Wade, he is now 37. In today's NBA, I doubt there is a team that will still sign him just because he is good and still in shape.

It's is just a number, if he can still play and contribute to the team, he can still get a team to sign him.
Look at Vince Carter, he was still re-signed by the hawks for the coming season, and he will is already 42 years, way older than wade, and he is the oldest active player in the NBA now, and I also think Wade is still better than him.

[Reid]

He is not done yet.

Yeah, I agree. so young to retire. But that is his choice so respect for the guy.

Yeah, and that is what is going to happen.
He retired young for a reason. But I do bet he is a better player in his age now rather than superstars who also went his way.
Let us take Carter as an example.

One more thing, he may have retired sooner because he want to preserve the way people do looked at him.
The Flash, the speedy guy.

After a year-long recognitions, tributes by every team, showing highlights video across every arena, swapping jerseys, future retirement of his jersey numbers, special hugs, teary moments, All-Star specials, etc. much better if Dwayne Wade preserved his legacy instead. If he plans to make a comeback it should be now and then and not as 39 or 40 etc.

And compare him to Carter? Wade is a future Hall of Famer. Coming back from retirement at the age between 39-42 is not an appropriate thing to do. Like I said above if he will make a comeback he will just be a bench warmer. A comeback on a bench? lol. Look at Jordan, still a starter when he came back at 38 after 3 years of retirement. Since he is part of the Wizards franchise, he plays a big role there.

If people want him to come back then it should be now. He still has that power. But a year later or 2 he will surely slow down and will end up retiring the same to what will happen to Vince Carter. We don't want to retire Wade like that.

[lixer]

There are reasons why people retire and depending on your reason you can make a comeback but usually you can't. For example, Michael retired while he was still young, I mean he came back but even on his latest retirement he was 40, which is not really that high for someone as talented as Michael Jordan but even he didn't played that awesome during that time, I mean surely he was much much better than 95%+ of the players and probably still better than some of the others as well but compared to who he was he wasn't as good as he used to be. Same with Magic, he wasn't retired because of his age, he retired because of AIDS and when he came back he wasn't that old but he didn't played that well neither. If you get retired because you are old, than you will most likely better stay retired.

[mirakal]

I think it's not about the age of a player, it's his own decision making whether he comes back or not, the passion of basketball is one of the reasons and not just money also. Like Wade, he is one of the highest paid athlete in the NBA with a net worth of $120 million as per https://wealthygorilla.com/dwayne-wade-net-worth/, so I he wants to just fully enjoy his retirement, he doesn't need to come back as he has a lot of money to enjoy it.

Wade is not old IMO, he is still athletic at his age, but he decide to retire for certain reasons that he only know.
As a player, their life does not only focus in basketball, they also have a lot of things that they like to do especially with their family.

Who knows if he's not yet done but I'm happy to see that the friendship of these two superstar is for real life. Unlike the other athletes that they'll just be together because they are teammates.

But once, one of them go away or moves to other team then the friendship is over.

[btc_angela]

Definitely, smart NBA players are investors so there is life after an exciting NBA career like Wade. If I'm not mistaken, he has some endorsement or businesses which includes socks and wines. And yes, probably he just have a lot of time in his hands and just wanted to train and stay in shape. But it's cool to see them together blossom that friendship.

Yes that is correct. And that is how every player should think. It is not a lifetime job and there is no retirement pay or whatsoever.
You are just paid to entertainment and when you cannot do that anymore you will be trashed.

I guess Wade is that wise to know what he should do.
While he is still young he could start a business and just rotate that money he made from his hood skill.
I dont think he is the analyst type which will take a job at ESPN or Fox.
For now, he could rest and savor all the money.

There's always life outside the court, smart players knows that and they are preparing with the money that they can use to open businesses it will helps them after their retirement, aside from that, they are also aware that career can instantly gone with a major injuries so better to have a good investment to make sure for their future. Whatever this DWade reasons it's still a good thing for basketball fans to see him taking this steps to stay in shape or there's another chance to him back playing.

"Stop getting me in trouble people. I’m retired asf! I love the game and you will still see me working out & teaching it but that’s to stay in shape"

-Dwade (@DwyaneWade)

To stay in shape - that's it.


I miss Melo news lol. Here's another rumor:

Another team now finally shown interest to Carmelo Anthony, the Los Angeles Clippers, but don't take the term "interest" into expectations since Melo is only one of the options that LAC needs to strengthen their second unit. Yes, Melo will surely come off the bench and no issues here since he already said that he is open for that.

As for me, I think this rumor will end up not happening, hope not as Melo still deserve a spot.

[darewaller]

Back in Miami times Lebron and wade were super close and it was really looking like bromance. They were both great players but off court they were super close friends as well, Lebron actually wanted to mimic that back in Clevland with Kyrie but they both had too much ego to become second stars and Kyrie eventually left because of that. Lebron never had and will never have any more close relations with another player like wade again.

However, leaving all that aside, what could Lakers gain by getting Wade to their team, I know wade lives in LA now so he won't be playing in some far other place, its either Lakers or none for Wade for sure and right now Lakers have all they need, maybe get like 10-12 minutes of Wade during regular season not to tire the starters and bench too much? I doubt they would be willing to bring in Wade for that.

As I thought. He got tired and just want to enjoy all his hard worked earned money from his sweat and blood.
Why do people keep on forcing them and not just respect the decision.

And I thought Brooklyn is already giving him a spot. Yeah he still deserves it. He is still in his prime although unlike what he was in Denver.
Let us say he is in shooting prime of his career. Better than Carter and also the Grant Hill of the Suns who came back from a huge injury and just shooting the ball outside.
Melo still have the hot hands.

I'll support him whatever the path he's going next and I hope he'll maintain his shape.

Good for him, but that doesn't mean the fans will loss their hope that DWade will one day come back and play.

Well, it's up to him to decide butt let's respect his decision now, he must enjoy his life after NBA and he has the money to do that, so his sacrifice during his time in the NBA is worth because he retires young with money to spent in vacation and enjoy the his full retirement.

He also have now a chance to drive his car collections per this video : 10 Stupidly Expensive Things Dwyane Wade Owns.

I love how Wade decide for his career, but for melo not to retire? I think it's time for him to hang his jersey more than Wade does. I mean he's past his prime and he is also prone to injury as a player. I don't think he deserve a spot, but as second unit maybe yes since only his experience is what he can contribute to the team.
