There is no way the Heat let Wade walk because of the damage it would do to the franchise in recruiting future free agents as well as the negative message it would send to the fans. Another point to note is that Wade and Bosh have the same agent. Pretty sure if Wade bolts, Bosh could potentially demand a trade since his friendship with Wade was one of the reasons he choose to resign with the heat post lebron instead of taking the max offers thrown to him from the likes of rockets and the lakers last summer.
I don't think the 3 years and $48 million is correct. He opted out of $16.125 million. Yes, he likely seeks the security of a multi-year deal but isn't that just signing him to a short extension that makes both parties happy?
I'd be worried if I was a Heat fan as signs are pointing to him leaving via a sign and trade in my humble opinion.
