Wade is Miami. He just trying to get paid but stranger things have happened.
I agree.
I also believe in players getting their money but Wade needs to understand at the same time he could be helping with tarnishing the Heat's image with perspective FAs (now and future).
Riley is supposed to be Miami's closer like Jerry West is for Golden State but right now he's looking kind of bad.
I mean if you are really trying to win, then this matters. If you're just trying to get back pay from years past and not really trying to win, then I'm sure he wouldn't care about Heat/Riley's image.
However, I do believe it was DUMB for Miami to lowball Wade while going after KD. Durant was never going to Miami to replace Wade, if anything it would've been to play with Wade. So they were going to have to take care of Wade regardless. There was no need to lowball him or put him on the back burner.
They been lowballing Wade his whole career -
Who's going to be his bench?
-
Wade should bounce because of the disrespeck
-
Lance about to return to the pacers.
-
Pacers are having a great offseason

Money the reason these dudes in the league in the first place. If you happen to get a ring then cool if not you'll still be living comfortably
Hes already set for life tho -
Pat ain't got the juice no more. Whiteside put the pistol to his head and got the max deal and I think he'll blink before Wade does with that $50 mill.
-
I think the Heat just don't wanna give a 35 year old Wade 25 mill a year. I don't see why not because it ain't like they are serious contenders. Pat Riley must be looking toward next summer and thinks the chances of getting Westbrook has increased.

I wonder what's the latest on Crabbe. He holding up the offer from the Nets!
-
These ? really got dudes trying to come out of retirement...
First Jermaine O'neal and now Jesus lol -
Send westbrook to miami, and send dragic to okc.......
do it now pat -

Anybody who says this didn't watch Thunder games or saltY
KD/Westbrook play street ball and been good enough to get away with it...they play terrible team basketball because there's no system. They go out there and mostly improvise so when ? breaks down, there's no system for them to rely on
Thunder got a bunch of random pieces that don't fit
People going really see how good KD is this year, it's being underrated how he probably frustrated with not having a good coach
It's funny because people wouldn't say anything if he went to the Spurs and they would be just as nasty
Lol @ people needing to wait until next season to realize how good KD is
Bruh you're up 3-1 in the conference finals.....thats when your franchise, max player, superstars are supposed to step up and close the deal.
Even if it was a small sample size Waiters
game seemed to evolve before our eyes
Steven Adams was playing like a man amongst boys
Kanter stepped up
Bill Donovan was making adjustments
KD and Russ were turning the ball over, taking bad shots and stopped trusting their teammates...thats why OKC blew that lead, had nothing to do with them having random pieces or not running a system
-
A lot of Russ to Boston chatter
-
Durant frustration with Westbrook reason why he left

Wouldn't say he has been lowballed but he has taken less for the team.
Even Lebron James had never been in the top 6 of NBA salaries until this season. He was #2 behind Kobe.
Wade has averaged $15M+ for his career since 2007-2008 (after rookie deal extension)
LBJ has averaged $16M+ for his career since 2007-2008 (after rookie deal extension)
I guess that's what happens when you team up with other stars...you have to sacrifice but that isn't being lowballed.
Wade signed a long-awaited contract extension on Wednesday. The
deal is for three seasons, beginning in 2007-08, and has a player
option for a fourth year -- much like the one agreed to earlier
Wednesday by LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
....this deal gives Wade the chance to secure another
long-term extension before the NBA's current collective bargaining
agreement expires. -

Your explanation just justified exactly what I said
Why were they turning the ball over, why aren't they trusting their teammates...cause there's no system in place to guarantee their looks...all of their shots are bad shots, that's how they play
Lmaoo @ Waiters evolving before out eyes...he had better stretches during the season and he might've took 8 shots in the last 3 games combined ...he was awful
"Here Roberson, go get yours"
Name the last NBA champions who didn't have a system in place
Name the last champions who relied on 2 players creating to score
Why couldn't they play w/o KD or Russ on the floor at all times
Why is Ibaka your 2nd best shooter on the court...OKC had pieces, they just don't complement each other and Brooks not Donovan put them
GS didn't have the most talented team and their depth was overrated but they had a system that took advantage of what they had -
-
I don't see how KD was frustrated with Westbrook it was plenty of times in big moments and games where KD was acting like a ? and not taking over and Russ had to cover for his ass like said before that's why Lebron always will own KD when he play certain players and teams he strinks under pressure KD blew a 3-1 lead to GS because that was his team and he neverd took over the last 3 games and it cost them the series He taking the Hoe route if he trying to blame his decision for leaving on Russ he should said I left because I need more help.

Why don't the heat just dump mcroberts contract and give this clown the 25 mil?
No heat fan wants that ? mcroberts. But why could we trade him to?
Free up money, dude been hurt most of the time he was on the team. -
