D Wade and and the 2nd pick for the first?

Would Bulls trade No.1 pick for Wade?

Dwyane Wade says he keeps hearing his name mentioned in trade rumors involving the Bulls and Miami Heat. Would the Bulls give up the No. 1 draft position to the Heat in exchange for Wade and the No. 2 overall selection? Or some combination of other players and picks?
"I have heard my name being talked about, and I can't worry about it," Wade said Monday at the Attack Athletics training facility on the West Side. "There is one thing in this league that you have no control over. If another organization wants you, then you should feel good to be wanted."
Wade grew up idolizing Michael Jordan while starring at Richards High School and then Marquette.
"I have a lot of history with the Bulls," Wade said. "And for them to come out with the first pick like that (with a 1.7 percent lottery chance) ... it was fitting that they would do something like that. Nobody thought that would happen. To be in that position and sit back and listen to anything and go back to a team and say: 'How about this? and 'How about that?' ... If [the Bulls] don't make any big moves like that, they're still going to have a great player."
Memphis guard Derrick Rose and Kansas State forward Michael Beasley are expected to go 1-2 in the draft.

that probably means no marion and the heat are going thru a hardcore blow up.
No .
Chicago would have to jump all over that.
Heat would be even bigger idiots if they did that.
I'd do it if it were just Wade for the first.
Wade and the second for the first isn't even a question.
wait.. is it wade AND the 2nd pick? tahts completely unfair for the heat lol.
Yeah true, a more even trade is Wade for the 1st.
Heat then starts over with Beasley and Rose.
Chicago finally have the goto scorer to insert into their above average solid core of guys.
Nice.
Damn, the more I think about that the more I like it.
Chicago could win now with that provided Wade is healthy, they'd be fierce on D as well.
Miami would be super promising for the future.
Wade and the 2nd pick for the #1 pick!? that's nutz!
Yeah, if I'm Chicago. Riley, on the other hand, is nuts if he does this. A Finals MVP to swap one spot in the draft? no.
Do you think Chicago would bite on Wade for the #1 is the better question. If Wade is healthy I think they would.
Why would you trade Wade for the opportunity to draft a "Potential Wade" in Rose, and if this is not bad enough, trade the opportunity to draft the guy (Beasley) that would suit you best anyway @ #2.
Unless, the Bulls have locked in on Beasley and it's clear to both the Bulls and Heat that Beasley is the real stud of the draft.
Riley has had his share of dunderheaded personnel moves.
So if he did this it wouldn't shock me, but I agree, I don't think this happens.
WTF, is Jerry West "not working" for the Heat now?
I fail to see how Derek Rose = Dwayne Wade + Beasley
Dwayne Wade is highly overrated...but there's still no way this trade makes sense.
Especially since that's what Miami would have if they did NOTHING.
Even if Wade is permanently damaged goods, I still think Beasley might end up being a better player than Rose if he has his at ude straight.
This would be a legendary fail.
It's one of the strangest trade ideas ive ever seen. Wade must really be done...i guess Riley... better than anyone, would know the extent of his injuries.
It still doesn't make sense, though... i wonder what they end up doing with Marion. With or without Wade, I can't see Marion having a permanent home in Miami.
Yep, it doesn't make sense. And it would have to involve more players for the math to work.
Is Chicago hoping if they snap up enough guards, they'll magical turn into a center?
We are talking about a team that probably could have had Kobe, but were unwilling to part with...Luol Deng.
How many years left on DWade's contract? Cause he only signed a 3 year deal after his rookie contract right? Miami has got to know he is leaving town once the deal is done and would like something in return.
The Bulls' front office's fascination with their draft picks has really set them back as a franchise now that it's turning out none of them is really very good.
Of course, Reinsdorf doesn't care about that; the Venezuelan National Pastime is his priority.
Think they meant D Wade and a 2nd round pick for the 1st round pick. So the Heat would end up with both the No. 1 and No. 2 picks for the draft. They could then draft both Beasley and Rose.
That way the numbers would probably add up.
