What's Wade's next contract worth

[BigNBAfan]

to the heat?

keep in mind he's the most tenured player for the heat and they just signed bosh to a ridiculous amount.

Whatever the standard pay is the WNBA gives to color commentators.

The Heat will probably give him a max deal and then use his constant injured state as an excuse for why they keep missing the playoffs. Should give them a good 5 year run of excuses and reasons not to get rid of Spo. Heat fans would be ecstatic.

[AirFederer]

Realisticly not too much.

[G0ATbe]

Max. 2nd greatest SG ever and still a few more good years in him.

[BlakFrankWhite]

didnt he sign a 4 year 60 million deal?

if he has...then i expect him to retire at the end of that.

[Demitri98]

He'll pick up his 16 million dollar player option for 2015-16...then he'll probably sign a 2 or 3 year deal for around 6-8mil a year, then retire in 2018 or 19 if the Heat don't make any noise. He's a a Miami Heat for life.

Kobe's on 20+ mil deals and he plays about 20 games a season

Wade should get 20+ mil too

I disagree.

Kobe is extremely popular in jersey and merchandise sales. Way more so than Wade.

Wade, while still relatively healthy compared to Kobe is still only #9 in jersey sales. Kobe, barely playing this season was #4. Keep in mind that Kobe has been playing much longer in the NBA and there are way more Kobe jerseys in circulation.

The Heat didn't even sell out when Lebron was still with the Heat, so I would argue their star players are worth less to them when it comes to money.

Wade getting ~$12-16m/yr seems very reasonable to me.

[VengefulAngel]

$10-12 million. But we as an organisation are probably a bit too loyal, so we could overpay.

[Mr.Kite]

Whatever China will pay him

[Captvic]

875k

Even if he's "just" #9, that's still a shit ton of money. It's actually surprising that he's still at #9, considering that Miami isn't really a sports town.


If he can continue to play 60-65 games per season with the same production, probably ~$15M. There are MUCH worse players out there making a lot more than Wade.
