Wade was absolutely a top 5 player when LBJ joined. No doubt. He was a multi-year all-star and just 2 years before LBJ joined he put up a stat line of 30 pts (lead the league) 7.5 assts, 5 rebs, 2.2 steals, 1.3 blocks. And for the 5 years before LBJ got there Wade averaged nearly 27 ppg. His 3rd year in the league he was an all-star and lead the team to the championship with a stat line of 27 ppg, 6.7 assts, 5.7 reb and 2 steals. He was definitely a top 5 player when LBJ got there, if not top 3 in the league at the time. In fact his stat line dropped off when LBJ got there because he began to defer to LeBron.Wow. Good job taking everything out of perspective.
I can dissect this more tomorrow, but Bosh was never a top 10 player and Wade was not a top 3-5 player when LeBron joined.
GS had one of the best 2 year runs in league history. KD left a contender to join the favorite. LeBron, Bosh and Wade were at 1st round exits and tried to build something unique.
