Wade's wife confirmed the first contract offer was for "one half of what he made last year." ($10M)

Wades wife lol.
Riley/Heat say it never happened.
Believe what you choose.
Free country.
Let me hear WADE say it.
Won't happen.
If he was that pissed, HE would have put it out there.
These guys live their lives through social media.



Didn't she also say there was no communication from start to finish?

 

[Heatles84]

now we get to hear for years how thats a lie and the media was wrong and turnup knows better....smh....

Amazing how much you flip on both sides of the fence:

- Oh, the Heat need to move on from Wade. He's washed up.

*Once Wade goes to Chicago*

- Heat screwed up in not getting Wade his money and letting him walk.

Won't ever work if you are that gullible.

It's funny once again watching him make a complete fool of himself.

First offer I heard was 2/20 as well.

 

[gordontrue]

I just don't get the level some Cavs fans elevate him to. Damn near God status.

What other NBA franchise has had an all-time great play for them.... that didn't have any other all-time greats play for them? Chicago? What franchise endured 50 years of losing basketball then had one of the best basketball players ever come to their team?


Its not surprising or curious at all, to me, that LeBron is viewed the way he is in Cleveland. Especially since delivering the title.


That said, LeBron is just another person. I don't idolize him or want to emulate him or even look up to him. I am just entertained by watching him play and amazed by the things he does on the basketball court.

Where did Riley say it was never offered ? (I want to hear it from his mouth.)

... someone is in denial.

 

[DJ Fieri]

That was the lockout season. He missed 4 games. A couple points below his career average. A couple of assists above his career average. Close to a 50/40/90 season. He could still play.

Yep.

 

[Heatles84]

First offer I heard was 2/20 as well.

And not many have stood by that number.

Still waiting for the link that Gabrielle Union confirmed the $10 million offer.

I can be one annoying bastard, so you better find it.

From a yahoo news article.

• Wade’s wife, Gabrielle Union mentioned that the Heat hadn’t even reached out to Wade before the start of free agency, despite the fact he was going to opt out and teams would be handing him contracts.
  
• Not only that, but when they did offer Wade a deal, it was for half of what he made last season, and this is after hearing about the astronomical deals being agreed to after the salary cap spiked by $24 million from 2015-16 to 2016-17.

So where does that say she confirmed that the Heat offered $10 mil per year.

LeBron is a great player, no question.....I just don't get the level some Cavs fans elevate him to. Damn near God status.

The only time he played that great last season was during the finals

Heat issued a statement saying the accusation was false.
That's from the horses mouth.

The 10M were 'reports' from whom?
The same people who 'reported' that Whiteside to Dallas was pretty much a done deal?

First confirmed offer to Wade was right after Durant decided, and was 40/2

#fact

 

[DJ Fieri]

A LBJ being clutch debate? Never get tired of those...

It's the offseason and FA has slowed down.

 

[Hambombs]

Wiggy the articles you post are from the worst reporters in the world or have the shittiest commentary. When its a article from Woj or zach lowe then i will listen

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

First offer I heard was 2/20 as well.

Heard or read?

From 'reports' which mean shit.

There were 'reports' of Durant picking OKC, GSW and Celtics in the final hour leading up to his actual announcement.

I heard from my friend that knows stuff within the org said he was picking between boston and golden state. And that he was leaving okc

A Necessary Divorce: Dwyane Wade and the Miami Heat

I also saw one on ESPN saying it could have been handled a little better as well.
