So you're telling me the worst case scenario of LeBron and Wade saying "f it, where do you wanna go play?" would be an improved version of AI/Melo? They do the same things and like to attack but they have different characteristics, Lebron can easily slip into a facilitator role and let Wade attack. AI/Melo are Me, Me, Me guys and aren't overly interested in facilitating for teammates. Wade would if he had a capable running mate and we already know LeBron is more than willing.
My argument for a Rose/Wade combo would be Rose has been forced into a scoring role as the PG because he's the most explosive weapon they have from the guard position. You add that to Wade...Rose can go back to be a facilitating guard and be a proven/capable weapon to attack the defense when teams try to collapse on Wade.
No matter if it's logical or not, I'll believe it when I see Wade or LeBron say "Dallas is the best place for me to go get a championship." I want it to happen...but I'm not getting my hopes up.
