Report: Dwyane Wade to Sign Deal Paying About $15 Million a Year

 

Reading the tea leaves based on the Miami Heat offseason moves so far, ESPN estimates that free agent Dwyane Wade will earn roughly $15 million per season with his new contract:

Based on Heat's moves yesterday & their commitments, appears Dwyane Wade lining up for a deal that starts at about $15 million

Heat renounced rights to Udonis Haslem yesterday. If they stick with their 2-year plan, he seems headed for $2.7M room mid-level.

That's a LOTTTTTTT of money.

 

[buzzy]

You gotta give it to him. You owe him everything.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I know

 

[Giantmetfan07]

Ha, and people said he got screwed. Dude is still getting paid

 

[buzzy]

Still hoping its not more than three years.

Think it might be 2+PO

 

[Teagz]

Dude needs to retire

 

[dez]

Lol damn

Love DWade, but he knows better then this..

 

[buzzy]

Dude needs to retire

Lol

 

[bosoxlover12]

$34M/2, with a PO

 

[buzzy]

That contract is fucking great. 1+1 and even less than his option from his last contract.
 
He can prove himself this season and get a better contract next year, if not we're super flexible for 2016.

 

[bosoxlover12]

I think it's no secret that he's a FA when Bron is too

 

[buzzy]

You'd think LeBron has ended his professional relationship with Wade, especially with a 34 year old Wade.
 
Wade doesn't seem to be the guy to go ring chasing in Cleveland.

So here's a fun exercise.

If Wade had said "I've had a great 11 years in Miami, 3 titles blah blah blah, but I think it's time to move on and see what else the league has to offer."

How much does he get on the open market?

When I had thought about it prior to his signing, I said 8M is probably the best price but he would probably get 11-12M, unless a team really wanted him and could make him the face of the franchise (think a Charlotte) and they could say "hey, come play in Charlotte and we'll give you 2-3M more than anyone else.

I say wade retires after this contract

 

[Teagz]

Someone would max him.
 
 
Teams are stupid.

 

[hat-94]

lol, why are they giving him so much money when his knees clearly sucks. he isn't owed shit, he did his job.

 

[Pugz]

hes done after this contract imo.
