Well, Wade found his nobody just like Bosh did

Except, Bosh had WAY more suitors than Wade has had in the last 3 offseasons offering him max money.



Yeah if i recall correctly the rockets offered him max too.

Yep.

Rockets, Suns, Lakers, Mavericks, and Nuggets all offered Bosh a max in 2014.

Teams never thought that Wade would be interested in leaving Miami. simples.
I remember when the Dolphins were perennial contenders

After last year's free agent debacle they probably should have seen it coming, especially after Hassan resigned

To you and the 2 who and1 you. Denever have offered exactly that and other teams will if they think Wade is really on the market. He's been a top player in the league for over a decade AND HE STILL IS!


Notice that Denver isn't offering a 3 year deal. They're offering 2/50. We offered 2/40. As it stands, we simply cannot offer 2/50 because of this little thing called the salary cap. I'm pretty sure everyone here would be in favor of dumping McFlop's salary and giving Wade 2/50, but that's a lot easier said than done.

It's like some fans get with rookies thinking all that they could be before they turn out to be nothing special, only problem is Dragic is 89 years old.

Makes me cringe to see someone I respect like Gom calling him a STUD!!!!

What?

He's a failed experiment. Udrih could lead the line better.


Riley's expression - not mine. Do you prefer "Starter"? Dragic is our point guard. That's a fact.

It's his 5-5-5 plan. 5 players in development, 5 studs (his word), and 5 veterans that provide stability.

Also, you are wrong about Dragic. He was instrumental in many victories down the stretch.

That's not true. You're lying. You probably a Donald Trump supporter.

The Heat have the cap space to give Wade 25mill a year. But they chose to agree with Whiteside on a contract first. And unlike Wade in the past, he didn't give us loyalty discount. But Wade is the diva.
For a long time it gave me nightmares,witnessing an injustice like that.It’s a constant reminder of just how unfair this world can be.I can still hear them taunting him, Silly Rabbit tricks are for kids.I mean why couldn’t they just give him some cereal?

I wonder how McSob feels? Literally all of South Florida is blaming him for the Wade situation.

will no one seriously take mcbob? his contract is peanuts compared to what they are handing out.

surely someone needs a backup pf and would give him a shot

but yeah, hated it when we signed him. quite clearly a scrub since duke who had one good season.

bull, HIF. Dwyane wasn't getting ANY interest from teams with big offers then, dude looked like he needed to come off the bench at that point. He was fat and out of shape with his cheeks looking full of acorns. Teams knew what Bosh was capable of as a higher option, his skillset wasn't used properly either. Spo turned him into Channing Frye...

Not true, I'm 90% sure the Heat renounced Dwyane so they have to use whatever space they have to sign him. If Dwyane wants $25 million, we'd have to trade McRoberts.

In answer to above

We could've signed Wade first - as he is our best player.

Why would he commit to Denver when he loves Miami and wants to play out his career here? He's giving Riley every chance he can. Still I'm sure you think he should just take what he's offered no question.

No they're not. He WANTs to be Miami.

Miami can easily offer a 3 year contract - stubborn and stupid.
