Wade's back 1 yr / $20 million

[gom]

5M overpay. Maybe now people will stop talking about how much he left on the table. I hope he can play at least 70 games.

He's on pace for 76 games played.

Knock on wood, QUIZ. We aren't even at the all star break yet.

I am very, very happy if this continues. Sometimes it's great to be wrong.

Here is a proposal for a 3/45 contract that lets us take advantage of Wade's bird rights to give 7.5% raises:

$13,929,193 (2016-7) - he will be 35 in jan 2017
$14,973,883 (2017-8) - 36
$16,096,924 (2018-9) - 37

$45,000,000

Golden parachute plan. Then we'll be ready for Zaire.

This deal would give Wade a generous deal that also lets us build our team into a competitor. The cap jumps again $19M in 2017 (from $89M to $108M).

He's going to earn more than that.

I said give that man his 4 year 65 million and be done with it(which is now equivalent to what you're proposing), but nope, let him prove it....welp, he's proving it so far and teams will pay for star recognition that still produces at his current level. Wade is getting voted an allstar again next season, teams would love to boast that.

Wade puts fans in the seats which means money in the pockets of the owner. You have to pay for that.
