I'm sure there was an understanding last year when he extended for 20 mil that Wade wanted that legacy contract after all he's done for the franchise. At the time Riley probably didn't think Whiteside could maintain that level of play or that Durant would become available.
Damn man, how high do you think state taxes are? It would take a 40% state tax rate for the player to have to pay $5 million more in state taxes due to half the games being played out of state. In reality it would cost Wade 4.63% to play half his games in Denver, or about $500,000.
