Just one day after LeBron James took his Cavaliers team to task for being "[expletive] top-heavy" and said they needed help, his former Heat teammate Dwyane Wade questioned his own team, the Chicago Bulls.

With the team hovering at .500, Wade talked to reporters in Orlando about concerns he had with the team, wondering if it would be a team that got better as the season went along or if the Bulls had simply reached their ceiling as a group.

“I’m 35. I do get concerned. Of course,” Wade said on Tuesday, via ESPN.

He went on:

“I don’t know if (evaluating a team’s potential is) that simple, if it’s that black and white. I think you see certain teams throughout a year can get better and you see certain teams — you will see it. You can tell that it’s just who they are. I’ve been on both. I’ve been on teams that it’s just who you are and you deal with it for the whole year. And some teams you get better as the years go on.

“Right now we are who we are.”
