Wade extension worth around $80 millionESPN.com news services
MIAMI -- Dwyane Wade and the Miami Heat have reportedly agreed on a five-year contract extension, with the hope that a deal will be finalized before the MVP of the NBA Finals leaves for USA Basketball's summer training camp later this month.

The South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported on Tuesday that Wade's agent, Henry Thomas, said that he expects Wade to sign the extension, for five years and between $75 million and $85 million, on July 12.
"We're on the same page," Thomas said in the Sun-Sentinel.
Wade is eligible for a deal worth about $80 million; the exact value of the extension, much like the one agreed to by Carmelo Anthony with Denver and the one offered to LeBron James in Cleveland, will not be known until the salary cap for the 2007-08 season is set.
New contracts cannot be signed before July 12. Wade is expected to report to practice with the U.S. world championships team in Las Vegas on July 19.
There is no real urgency on either side; he is under contract for next season with the Heat, who will defend their first NBA championship. Without the extension, Wade would become a free agent after the 2007-08 season.
But the Heat -- who quickly made their extension offer -- almost certainly are not going to let that happen. Thomas said earlier that he and the Heat are engaged in "very positive" talks.
"Both sides will work towards a signed extension prior to Dwyane leaving for practice," Thomas said.
Wade has repeatedly said he wants to stay in Miami, reiterating that again Monday during a visit to Walt Disney World in Orlando, where he and teammate Udonis Haslem donned Mickey Mouse hats and were grand marshals of a Heat victory parade.
Wade also arranged for 100 underprivileged South Florida children to board Orlando-bound buses and spend the day with him and Haslem at the theme park.
Other than coach Pat Riley saying that getting Wade to agree to an extension is Miami's top offseason priority, the team has not commented on the negotiation process.
Wade was the fifth pick in the 2003 draft, and his rise to s om was quick. He averaged a career-best 27.2 points during the regular season, making 49.5 percent of his shots, plus averaging 6.7 assists and 5.7 rebounds.
In the playoffs, he was even better, averaging 28.4 points -- and 34.7 in the NBA Finals, when he led the Heat past the Dallas Mavericks in six games.
"I have confidence that it's going to get done," Wade said.

Did the Heat and Wade also reach an agreement with the NBA/Stern to keep getting bull calls next season? Guessing they also extended that contract for 5 years.
In other news, the Maverick fans agree to be crybabies for the next five years.
Lol takes one to know one Spurs fans. Unlike Wade...Dirk did clearly get fouled by Manu yet Spurs homers on here say it was a bad call.....
The only thing it takes to see that you are a crybaby is the word "dallas mavericks" under your name. The officials made your team choke away the finals. Fine. Don't worry, your team will never be back there to do it again.
Wade clearly got questionalbe calls with like seconds to go...that's all I'm saying. Refs were anticpating contact and blowing the whistle. That being said the Mavs did not play well....give the Heat credit for that.
On to the never be back again....guess cause Spurs homer says so the Mavs might as well not play next year. No one knows who will win or when. The Mavs have as good a shot as any team in the West including the all mighty Spurs. Stop acting like a dumbass.
I thought the officials knew who was going to win. Oh yeah, that's only after your team loses. It's skill when you win and a crime when you don't. It's only a bad call when Dirk doesn't get the call against Wade, but not when he gets the call against Duncan and Ginobili.
