Less than the max. I'm good with this. Now lock down Wade.

Great news for Heat/Wade fans...cap is also going to be roughly 2 million higher than expected.

Should have enough room to front load Wade and still chase Durant next season.

[Clifton]

Um... a what-now?

This is not something you get fired for... this is something you get sued for.

Unless this "salary cap jump" is much greater than I think, and in 3 years this will be every quality NBA starter's contract.

Are you a heat fan? Do you want Wade back or would you rather fill his absence with some other quality free agents?

very much a Heat fan.

i would rather Wade have opted in and then sign the $10 mil per for 2yrs deal the Heat initially offered him...it paid him at the $12mil rate he's basically worth today

if he's asking for more, much more I should say, to where it hampers Whiteside and KD landing, then I'm OK with letting him walk and getting someone like Lou Williams or Monta to replace him.

Losing Wade would cripple the Heat. Sure he gets injured and has his shortcomings, but the Heat would only have the MLE I believe (~$5MM) so in know way would the Heat be able to replace his production with that little money. Losing Wade would only lessen Mickey's tax burden, it would not give us any meaningful cap space.

@ the idiot wanting Lou to replace Wade.



18 per is not bad when the new cap kicks in. The '16 season is going to be terrible though, if we don't get Wade or another top tier SG to replace him. Hope Arison does the right thing and pays him ~$23M next season, so they can pay him ~$12M for the 2 or 3 seasons after that.

Dragic/Rio
?????/Tyler Johnson
Justise/Deng/Ennis
Bosh/McBob
Whiteside/Birdman

Only need to fire Spotard and we're set.

there's a difference in wanting to replace and settling for a replacement...hard to understand to the likes of you, we know

[LikeABosh]

Well under the max, great news. Can't wait to see how Bosh and him play together

[Hey Yo]

Heat would appear to have no realistic way to bring back Wade and duck tax. Look for them to work hard to dump mid-sized contracts.
