2. Dwyane Wade

Unfortunately for other teams. his knees are included in any deal. But Wade, when healthy, is still one of the very best two-way 2-guards in the league.

James Harden is great offensively, but we know what he’s about on defense (unless you watched the FIBA World Cup and believe Harden is willing to play defense, but that was against far more inferior competition and for, like, 15 minutes a game).

As far as ranking the best two-way shooting guards, the list is Wade, Klay Thompson and A-Arron Afflalo in some order. Position scarcity? Check.

Couple that with his favorably short contract ($31 million for two years) and his knees become less of an issue for a team with a championship window.
