Pro: Chemistry and equation with LeBron

Ente

Coming home, LeBron had taken up 'bringing a championship to Cleveland' his mission. Through most of his second stint with the franchise, he's been the only player of his caliber to have tasted championship success. So his equation with most of the players was one of a mentor, one who wasn't necessarily ideal for handling locker room issues.

Fortunately for him, the Cavaliers thrived in chaos. Maybe he knew that all along and created the chaos for the team's success. Despite changes in the offseason, a majority of the Cavs' core roster is still intact so continuity to some extent will be a huge team asset.

Wade's presence in the locker room brings one more person to the Cavaliers, who could possibly stand up to James, if and when The King is at fault. The first person in the Cavs' locker to stand up to LeBron was head coach Tyronn Lue, and we all know how that season ended - with the Cavaliers ending Cleveland's championship curse.

Wade has won championships in the past, including one without James in 2006, so his judgment, opinion, and advice should only help the team and its quest to lift the trophy once more.
