View Full Version : Heat: Wade offered under $10 million/season

Last summer, Dwyane Wade terminated a contract that would have paid $20,164,000 this season and $21,655,000 next season.

He signed a new deal that pays $15 million this season and $16,125,000 next season.

Both contracts included player options for next season, and Wade initially said he wouldn’t opt out. That likely pleased the Heat, who’d prefer to maximize their cap room in 2016 – when the salary cap skyrockets, Hassan Whiteside hits unrestricted free agency and other premier free agents (ahem, Kevin Durant) explore the market.

But Wade is considering opting out, presumably to recoup some of the money he gave up last summer.

So, he and Miami are discussing a new contract. It’s apparently not going well.

They have no chances in the near future. Might as well pony up and keep the man whose jersey they will retire.

Pat is actually smart for doing this. I've seen GM's hand out ridiculous contracts to players on their last legs. No one forced Wade to take a paycut, onus is on him.

That's bad on MIA. When Wade does you a favor so you can do what you need to do, you don't then use it as leverage once the terms change.

Wade though obviously isn't Duncan or Dirk and isn't willing to take less to win. If he gets more money, it hurts them, but that's his choice. He should not cry at all about his surroundings if they pay him.

Dwight was a cancer....Kobe ran him off he didnt walk away on his own

Pau was used as trade bait for years got a chance to finally repay them for trying many times to trade him but failing to do so....

Melo turned all teams down to get the most money

Keep in mind I'm literally smarter than you so you'll have to come with strong arguements when fucking with Kool...I'm the Kobe of ST..which means I'm hard as fuck to guard...update your game plan...

So you are confirming what I said. Glad to finally see you admit that LA was not able to sign players even though they "took care of Kobe" and had max money to sign guys. That is exactly what I said happened and what many said the second Kobe signed that huge contract.

We all knew that meant losing, but even we didn't think that would mean back to back lotteries.

Back to this topic though - MIA will pay Wade - it will be shocking if they end on something like this, despite it being the right basketball move. It's a blessing to have a Duncan/Dirk vs Kobe and what appears to be Wade though.

Wade much lesser than Kobe since he did give MIA flexiblity (even though it backfired). But he has to understand if he wants to win, he has to take a little less. Players are really short-sighted. You may hate the rules, but the CBA is in place and that's reality. MIA has taken care of Wade his entire career and helped him win titles and make him rich. Letting the twilight years end like this is foolish.

You didn't get two top 3 picks. You got a 7th pick and the number 2 pick. The 7th pick broke his leg and has very little value at this point too. No one wants to play with Kobe, the owners are arguing & you have no good building blocks as of now.

Kobe personally ran Dwight off..if you cant see that you're a moron..

So you were shut out like I said. It's not about naming names. It's about you claiming Kobe knew the entire time he wasn't going to win even though he was healthy and they had cap space when he signed his contract? Again, you are either lying to save face now in hindsight or you were wrong.

Kobe knew we were constrained period....contract or not..nash was sucking up space and there wasnt anyone of significance we could have signed outside of Melo...even if a healthy Kobe had taken a Dummy Duncan Deal there still wouldnt have been enough talent out there....its called being a visonare....the injury only made things worse...

Kobe has always been worth his contract injured or not...i previously posted the math in 2013..Dr, Jerry Buss himself said that his accountants informed him that Kobe alone netted him 80 million / yr...do the math dipshit..even if you exclude the Shaq yrs...and calculate just 14 yrs of Kobe's career...that's still well over 1 billion dollars that Kobe alone has netted the Lakers by himself...so the measly 48.5 for two years is basically slave labor...

The Heat can have room for Wade, Bosh, Goran Dragic, Hassan Whiteside and Durant … but only if Wade opts in for this year and gives them that flexibility by being a free agent in 2016. This requires Wade to have a lot of trust, obviously, and the leap of faith that the team will take care of him in 2016.


It also requires some creativity and relationship-building with Whiteside, who will be tucked away in something called a “cap hold.”
And it ultimately involves — and this is a big ask — Wade being OK with newcomers who haven’t done much of anything for the organization, like Dragic and Whiteside, earning more than he does.
If Wade opts into his deal for next season, he’d carry a $20.6 million cap hold in 2016, according to ShamSports, which combined with Bosh’s $23.7 million in 2016-17 and Dragic’s expected max contract (an estimated $21.6 million that year) leaves roughly $23.1 million for Durant or whoever — and that’s before we account for Josh McRoberts’ $5.8 million paycheck in 2016-17, what could be an eight-figure price tag for Whiteside and the remaining cap holds.


In theory, Riley could dump McRoberts, keep Whiteside waiting in his cap hold and offer Durant an $18.3 million starting salary before settling up with Whiteside, but that would require the former MVP to accept less than a max contract (roughly $26.7 million) on the open market next summer. And why would a 27-year-old Durant want to team with a trio of 30-somethings in Miami when he could sign for more money alongside current teammates Russell Westbrook and Serge Ibaka or join his hometown team with John Wall and Bradley Beal, all of whom would still be in their prime entering the 2016-17 NBA season.


That theory also ignores the reality that Wade is closer to retirement than the start of his Heat career more than a decade ago — a notion that will only be reinforced when he joins ABC for the station’s studio coverage of the NBA Finals. It was Riley himself who reminded us in his annual all-too-honest exit interview with the Miami media of the injury issues that have cost Wade a combined 25 percent of his regular-season games over the past four seasons.

"He's got to change the narrative himself about his body and about his injuries and about his missing games," Riley said. "And we had a discussion about this. But he always has to answer those questions, and I know those questions are legitimate because they're real.
"So night in and night out, there's always the question of whether or not he can or he can't. And so I'd like to have him try to get past that first hurdle mentally and do whatever he has to do to get himself ready to practice and himself ready to play, each and every night."
So, maybe Riley’s better off letting Wade walk— or at least challenging him to find someone crazy enough to offer him three years and $60 million — and selling Durant and others on Bosh, Dragic, Whiteside and whoever else the Heat pull out of their you know what. However wild that may seem, the sun sure seems to shine on Riley’s behind more days than not.

Remember, this is Miami, where even Scarface achieved his wildest dreams, however briefly.

We're not at Lakerstalk.com though, after b2b lottery appearances talking shit about the defending champ. If you cannot see the difference, you're beyond help.

Got nothing to do with the price of beans.

You guys engaged us at Title level. "C'mon in, sit down I'm not going to beat you."---Heavy Irish brogue....We sat down, your kilt tilted and you slapped the living shit out of us.

A 2nd 5th ain't gonna cut it, dad. Not by a jugful.

What are you drinking old man? Tim wasn't leaving California, he was leaving Texas.

Senility is ugly when it rears its head on a public forum, recorded for posterity.

WTF are you talking about? Game 5 was played in California. The series was tied 2-2. You won Game 5. That put you up 3-2. Game 6 was played Texas.

Where am I wrong?

Old man, tippy toe tippy toe..

The thread is about Wade who plays for Miami. Spurs were up 3-2 in the Finals two years ago and lost in Miami. You need to stick to one approach, either it's Amy and 6 or it's the 1st round loss to the Clippers. Make up your mind. You like having the room to say you meant this or you meant that, hedging your bets along the way.

And don't pretend you're here to talk ball. All your ball takes could be put into one post about the size of the one above.

Same damn thing with Duncan, Aggy. He's just out of the glare of the lights & cameras & judgment & ridicule.

AGAIN, perhaps you'd have more than a 2nd 5th had you been under such glare. You've done the deeds. You should have gotten the glare.

Look, Kobe is the self proclaimed "second coming". There's no such nonsense coming from Timmys mouth. One of these egos is not like the other. The media spotlight in LA is simply kerosene on the bonfire that Kobe lit.

Again, you have no spotlight in San Antonio. You've committed the same mistakes, but, since no one is in the woods when the tree falls no one hears it. Christ, the fuckin' judge went out there to their fuckin' house so it would be kept private. It's nice not having your most intimate moments without the light being shown upon you. It's also softened ya's so in tight quarters (b2b) you're incapable of crossing that threshold.

Duncan has never owned anything. And Duncan has also never repeated.
