I don't mean whose the better player or the player you would rather build around. I mean who in 6 years (when their current Max deal would finish) would be better. Basically who is the safer player to give the Max to (they both will still get it and the extra 30 mill).
Wade is already 28 and has already had multiple knee problems (not great for a guy who relies on athleticism as much he does). With all the bumps and brusies Wade has acquired through his reckless playing style and you add that to the amount of mileage in his career (Olympics and Playoffs). I'm not saying Wade will completely fall apart half-way through his new Max contract but he could regress enough to where his contract could burden a team.
Bosh is not only 2 years younger than Wade, also usually SG's dont outlast PF career unless they completely devout themselves to taking care of their body (see Bryant, Kobe). Plus Bosh is a finesse PF and that would probably cause CB's NBA lifespan to increase.
Also you have to account for the up-coming CBA coming and how it will tighten up the NBA salary cap, basically not allowing teams to build super teams anymore. Again this is not a slight against D-Wade or anything but how Bosh could be the better sign than Wade this off-season.
