While I don't know that it's unkind to Wade (it probably is), it's without a doubt showing more favoritism to Kobe who is 36 and was already slowing down before tearing his achilles.

D Wade does have a 96 potential rating. I am curious how this impacts game to game situations; or does this just impact MyLeague? I imagine that this may allow for certain increases during play...to what extent I wonder. Still, the baseline ratings are way off for Wade regarding speed/quick.

Wade won't improve in MyLeague. Potential affects the rate of decline. Stars decline slower than scrubs.
