Would DWade be happy about LeBron signing with the Heat?

Just days ago, the city of Miami was littered with "Wade County" signs, held by anxious fans. But this morning I saw a newspaper headline from Miami (couldn't find the photo anywhere, not the Herald website or the Sun-Sentinel) that had this startling image:
Dwyane Wade on the left, Chris Bosh on the right -- between them, a bit higher (forming a triangle) an empty throne. The headline read: Fit For A King
Really.
Last I checked, the only one in this potential juggernaut to win a championship -- nay, to lead his team to a championship -- is Wade. And after seven seasons in the NBA, between James and Wade, Wade has been the only one to show a consistent killer instinct, a ferocious unwillingness to lose.
I can't imagine Wade has any interest in sharing the ball or the spotlight with Lebron James, much less surrendering them to him. Yet even now, the Miami Heat and their fans seem thrilled by (read: ignorant to) this possibility.
Finally, this all reminded me of a quote from Wade I read last year. He said if he could play with anyone in the NBA, it wouldn't be LeBron James. It would be Dwight Howard. Because Wade understands basketball, and he understands that a championship team is greater than the sum of its individual talents.
If Wade truly understands this, I can't imagine any reason why he would want LeBron moving south.

Of course he would be
Wade’s got his ego, and LeBron might be the only player in the NBA he’d defer to. But it’s LeBron. Everyone wants to play with the absolute best.
bron will stay in ohio
he wants a ring but i don’t think he wants to sell out to get it……….
Just one man's opinion...
"mark my words...we will draft 2 corners within the first 4 picks" - 2009
"mark my words...we will draft 4 new linebackers this off-season" - 2010
It's Wade's team,
when all is said and done.
Damn, has it been that long? Is that what happens since I been gone, homie?

They wont beat the Magic
Chris Bosh isnt a problem like Perkins and Wallace

Certified Kristin Kreuk obsessive.
The offensive firepower they will have will probably negate any defensive problems that they might have.
I mean, obviously they are going to be anointed the favorites to win the championship from now until we get to the playoffs, but they still have to have chemistry. Defense is also an important part of playoff basketball. 7 of their players are going to be minimum salary guys, so don’t expect their depth to be particularly fantastic.
Chris Bosh notoriously tears Orlando up.
In fact, all three seemingly hit a higher gear when they play us. And now to have them all on the floor at once is a daunting idea, one that I can’t help but feel a bit disheartened over.
