He should leave tbh

As rival front offices start to take seriously Dwyane Wade's frustration with his Miami Heat contract talks, several teams are pursuing the 12-time All-Star with offers in the $20 million-annual range, league sources told The Vertical.
The Chicago Bulls, Dallas Mavericks, Denver Nuggets and Milwaukee Bucks have started a courtship process that has included offers in length of two and three years and upward of $20 million a season – a salary the Heat so far have been reluctant to offer, league sources said.
The Nuggets and Bulls have been among the most aggressive pursuers of Wade, league sources said.
Milwaukee has been open to sitting down and talking with Wade, but it doesn't have the salary-cap space – nor yet the full inclination – to make that kind of a commitment to Wade, league sources said.
Wade grew up in Chicago and played college basketball at Marquette in Milwaukee.
The Heat's initial offer of $10 million annually – which would've cons uted a 50 percent pay cut from his $20 million 2015-16 salary – deeply angered Wade, league sources told The Vertical. Even with the Heat planning to counter to a higher figure, league sources said, Wade has been insistent on starting to explore the market and meet with teams once he returns from an overseas vacation, league sources said.
Wade had an excellent season for the Heat, averaging 23.7 points and leading a depleted roster into a Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.
Wade has taken less than his maximum-salary value on three straight deals to allow the Heat to supplement the roster with top talent. This time, the Heat are trying to balance the re-signing of center Hassan Whiteside to a four-year, $98 million maximum deal with the pursuit of free agent Kevin Durant. There are some close to Wade wondering whether the organization is trying to drive him away, but the Heat insist they want Wade to finish his career with the franchise, sources said.
Wade has been part of three NBA championship teams in Miami.
Miami is awaiting its meeting with Durant on Sunday in the Hamptons outside New York, where president Pat Riley and owner Micky Arison will make a presentation to Durant.

Pat Riley, the Spurs, and Golden State still operating in yesterday's NBA being smart. The rest of these GM's are in fantasy land.
Today's NBA![]()
Good for Riley.
Overated HGH user is way on the downside.
Those franchises should be in great financial shape once the salary cap leaps are over. I expect them to weather the current storm as pseudo-contenders and rebound well in the 2018 off-season.
As much as I hate to say it,
because he's 34,
Wade just averaged almost 24 a game.
He's on of the last guys you have to worry about bringing it,
especially in the playoffs.
If I'm the Spurs, and you strike out on KD,
I'd offer Wade 20m per year for 4 years...
Wade can't shoot the three, he's not a good defender, he's always hurt, and he's 34. No ing way I'd want the Spurs to offer him a two year deal at $20 million per much less a four year deal.
u dont pay a 34yr old 80m/4yr who be on t eh wrongside of 30yrs old, all his doing now is p osting up empty stats in the pathetic east, spurs need to g et younger
u already mistakenly giving a loyalty contract to a pos on the team, u dont repeat it again
but if its a straight up trade enrique for sig n trade deal or whatever is left of spurs cap situation, u do it
any move thatg ets rid of the pos is a good move
remember in 2014 when wade twitted the "lol loyalty" comment
damn he took a paycut to assemble a superteam
he opted out of his contract so the heat can re-sign the 3 players + 1 more max guy, but lebron left and heat lowballs him
now they go lowball him with a petty loyalty contract for a guy who took paycuts? roflmao
are you nuts?![]()
Wade averaged 19 last season. The 23.7 is his career average.
Yea, him

Yeah so Wade is offered 10million, then he sees Turners contract and you expect him to be cool with it?
Hes gone...
Dets more than the $5 Jim opted in for![]()
Looks like the Lakers just got Deng for 72 million. Wade's easily getting 20 million per.
Not earth shattering, but I'll take it.
No , $18 million a year for a 31 year old who has been declining pretty steadily these last three years and has a league average PER of 15.![]()
