He played for 3 years at UK almost getting kicked off of the team once. In his 4th year he made the single biggest improvement I've ever seen of any UK player in the 30 years I've been a UK fan. I think he has great potential to be a solid contributor.

Good to hear. I know I heard Cousins leaving and Kanter not being able to play helped him get some time almost by default. I heard some good things about him before his rookie season, and even heard people suggest the Heat look at him in the draft. Now out of nowhere he can shoot, which makes it make all the more sense.

Wild that we have another media day coming down the pike in 3.5 weeks. This offseason feels crazy short compared to the lockout extended one.

**Wade County** · 09-04-2012, 06:44 PM

^ Yep, was thinking opening night is only like 6-7 weeks away. Crazy quick.

**Wade2Bosh** · 09-04-2012, 08:47 PM

Some interviews. Wade is making the rounds promoting his new book.

Here's a clip of his "The View" appearance

D-Wade on a Houston radio show. Nothing new here.

Spo was on with Jorge Sedano today.

Sedano is back on radio now on WQAM, and also on afternoons. So much better than Sileo.

Spo said he hopes to play faster this upcoming season. Also says its been fun creating plays for a catch and shoot player, which they havent had.

**Wade County** · 09-04-2012, 09:12 PM

^ Well, haven't had other than Mike Miller. But he has been pretty much a corpse the past 2 years - other than Zombie Miller in game 5!

<333 Will always love MM purely because of that game.

**Jace** · 09-04-2012, 09:25 PM

He actually said "HOF catch and shoot player." Miller's release isn't quick enough, and he doesn't hit the huge shots. But yeah, Mike has earned himself one of those UD, auto-PT spots with that game. If he can play, he will.

Dwyane Wade about to come on Letterman.

**Wade2Bosh** · 09-04-2012, 09:26 PM

Also think he meant an on the move catch and shoot player.

**Jace** · 09-04-2012, 09:56 PM

Yup. They try running Miller and Jones off screens, but they rarely connect, if they even get open and a look.

Dwyane's looking pretty light from what I can tell. Definitely in much better physical condition to bounce back from this surgery than the last.

**Wade2Bosh** · 09-05-2012, 01:41 AM

Dwyane "Reed" on Letterman

**Jace** · 09-05-2012, 10:15 AM

I'd never heard of it until last night. I guess its a northern thing.

Hittin the gym when I land to. 1st strength and conditioning wit @ProTerf then a light court work at the arena. Wake up tom and do it again.

Flying in from DC. I was worried he'd get complacent this summer after playing big in the post-season. Oh contraire. I think R-Star would agree its looking like Rio is finally going to be Rondo with a jump shot this upcoming season.

As Wade ages I think the heat are going to look for more production from Chalmers

**Jace** · 09-05-2012, 12:09 PM

I agree. Chalmers having his best games last year with Wade out (Atlanta) or Monstar'd (Indiana G3) seems to be foreshadowing the dynamics of the team a few years from now.

Forgot to ask...why'd he almost get kicked off?

**Wade2Bosh** · 09-05-2012, 02:17 PM

He seems to come from the Ochocinco/Logan Morrison school of tweeting. Not much off limits, including criticizing his college coach on there. Maybe he's changed though.

Josh Harrellson banned from Twitter for criticizing John Calipari

Yeah, Cal was ready to send him packing after that.
