What Wade is waiting for? 

Post#1 » by Zhuyankanqiu » Tue Jul 15, 2014 1:12 am

Now Heat signed pieces they need in the free market and basically filled the rosters. Why Wade is still waiting? I thought after James bolted, Wade should be the first to be signed. Why there's no news about him? What kind of contract is he expecting after giving up 42m 2years?

He should be signed within the next couple of days. The hold up has been how much he's going to give up in order to bring in another piece.

The question is, how much worth was the contract offered to him by the Heat? He deserves to get paid period!

What's the rush? He is signing with us anyway

He will sign eventually

I think it's because of the cap situation, certain people have to go first to make the numbers fit

the thing is, after signing bird man, Chalmers, Bosh, Deng, how much is left under the cap? Don't forget Haslem is to be signed too who has given up 4.3m. If I calculated correctly, there's only 11m left for Haslem and Wade. (please correct me if I am wrong)

Birdman only counts 900K against the cap

Wade deserves his original contract owed to him. 2/42. Hell then probably take like another 2 year deal in 2016 and hopefully retire at 36. I'd love to see him play to about ray Allen's age though. Wade will forever be no1

Correct. That's leaves only $13.5m of cap space for Wade and UD combined.

If you ask me, I will give Wade a 3-year $43m contract starting at $11.4m. I will sign UD as the team scout and use the remainder of our cap space on Jordan Crawford to back-up Wade.
