Way of Wade

This is a completely hilarious trade that stands as proof that general managers are both smarter and more boring than most of us wish they were.

Wade’s contract is really tough to swallow for a lot of Bulls fans, myself included. There’s a way to send Wade to the Sixers and it isn’t complicated or difficult to achieve.

Trade Wade for Okafor and Sergio Rodriguez.

Chicago has proven that they love collecting point guards for some unknown reason. Rodriguez could be yet another guy that Fred Hoiberg could randomly bench for a week and then run back as starter whenever he’s feely cranky at Michael Carter-Williams or Jerian Grant.

It’s a crazy trade, but don’t lose focus. The Sixers are a very high-upside squad. They’re among the most exciting and youngest teams in the league. They have no established, respected, big name veteran. Wade could be that guy. If you’ve got Embiid, Simmons, Saric, Luwawu-Cabarrot, Noel and Wade, they suddenly look attractive to more free agents. The 76ers have been player really good basketball recently, with a tough defensive unit. Add the scoring ability of Wade and things get better.

According to ESPN’s Trade Machine, the trade would add six wins to the Sixers. They have to start winning eventually and they aren’t going to get low enough to be seeded among the top three spots in the lottery, might as well start now.
