i think it comes down to - if dwade wants to carry the load he wants to get paid to do it...

and im just saying...i hope bosh comes back- but if he doesnt...its gonna be an uphill battle there....

milwaukee isnt far from chicago- and milwaukee has a freaking roster except missing a veteran leader that could bring it together....that would be a great fit there - except for the 3 pt shooting on that team.

Again, it's all dependent on Bosh, but Wade has to be current on that situation.

mixed feelings about wade leaving miami- if he goes- which- i still think its highly likely he is back there

but if he left it would be my undying pleasure to watch the mess that Whiteside would become with all those expectations

There would be no expectations.
It would be full blown rebuild for a season.

Whiteside would be fine just like Cousins and the rest of them on losing teams,

Denver is desperate

Lol No way in hell Denver is getting him

Taxes don't quite work like that.
You pay the taxes in every city you play in.
The 4.63% only applies to the home games.

 

[bksballer89]

The only team honestly who should think about offering Wade that money is Miami due to all the money he left on the table previously. No way in hell am I offering Wade 25 mil per season at age 35 if I'm any other team.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Only way to even give him 25 is to rid of another body ( McBob).

I'd tell Wade, we'll give you every dollar of cap space we have, but that's it.
Take it or leave it,
Maybe Whiteside kicks back a few million just because?

Then Wade would be like. See ya. I'm going to take the minimum in Cleveland

So it will be even lower.

His choice.
He's a grown man who is a FA.

Keep him. Pay him big money like Kobe got. I dont want the Cavs dropping players to get him. Shump isnt a big deal but he wants a pay day. That's it. All this is leverage and he will win in the end.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Yes.
Most states are higher, but then you need to figure in the games in Florida and Texas where there's none.
That's prob only 6-7 games though.

I still contend he recouped any salary he left behind through endorsements that he only got because of wnning.

I didn't realize that Wade was already 34. Riley should stand firm.

What would Denver even accomplish by signing Wade? Being a little less shitty?

Basically.

 

[Demonjoe93]

Basically.

Wade wouldn't made them close to being a Playoff team. They'd be a 10 seed at best.

Yep and he is almost a lock to miss 10 games or so. Last year he played 74 games and that was stunning

 

[WiggyRuss]

Dwyane Wade joining the Cavs for less money and out of spite could happen

Arent you the guy that always shits on wade constantly?!

Honestly, this is getting ridiculous. If I was a Heat fan, I'm not even sure if I'd want him back.

At this point I kind of count especially if we're bidding with freaking Denver of all teams
