Butler is a great player (doesn't rely purely on athletics nor instinctual IQ, but a great combination of both), a real low-key team leader who needs an Alpha to support him . . but Wade is just not up to the task. Will he stay in Chicago and let a new team be built around him?

Wade is pretty much done. Just too old and banged up. He IMO is the 4th best Natural SG of all-time so he has nothing left to prove. I only have Jordan, Kobe, and West rated higher at that position. Oscar is a PG in reality, so is Curry. Reggie Miller was a better 3 point shooter but Wade was the 4th best all-around SG of all-time edging out guys like Clyde the Glyde. Wade has a Finals MVP, over 20,000 Points, and 3 Championships being the best player on one of those teams and 2nd best on the other 2 behind LeBron. I actually think he was just as important as LeBron was to winning the final 2 in Miami. LeBron doesn't win it all without him.
