This foreign guy shooting guard is a terrible free throw shooter.
Keeping him would have meant guaranteed salary and you could basically triple it with three added tax they'd be paying on it for being over the cap. Cavs really had no choice but to trade their 1st rounder.

They probably would, but No thanks on Russell.

Wade CAN'T sign here, I repeat, CAN NOT unless he takes the min MLE. I highly doubt he's doing that. He's divorced and paying alimony, as an illegitimate child with another women while engaged to Gabrielle Union, etc....

Per his divorce, "Mr. Wade has provided a very generous settlement to Ms. Funches to continue to live a wonderful lifestyle for the rest of her life.Despite false allegations by Ms. Funches claiming to be “homeless” and “destitute,” Dwyane Wade has maintained over the years financial support to his ex-wife by providing her with income over $25,000 on a monthly basis, timely paid for her home mortgage, maintenance and security at the house, 4 cars , insurance, taxes and all of her attorney fees throughout this process.


Trust me, he wants paid.

I hope Wade goes out west. Also, fuck Miami and Pat Riley.

I hope he goes to Houston so we can watch Harden and Wade both flop at the same time every play anything they're breathed on by a defender chucking up garbage shot at 35% FG percentage. 2 least fav players to watch on 1 team.

Can't see him leaving the Heat. He doesn't have much left in the tank and they can give him the most money. He stands little to gain by leaving them.

Same. He will only get a salary above market in Miami and he wants a payday.

Kevin Love will hit the market, but those close him insist his public statements reflect his thinking: It's highly likely he's back in CLE.

So apparently she knows things about him that he doesn't want ANYONE else to know....

Wade is worth over 100M. He's got plenty of money from investments and endorsements. Sure, he wants a bigger NBA contract, but the difference between 14M and a max deal isn't that great. I can't see any way he gets a max deal anywhere though.

He wants $16M a year which is lower than the max but still way higher than he's worth. I'd give him $10M a year max.

I don't think it sucks. Lebron wants him there and every team has junk at the end of the bench. Sure, he's not worth $2.8M but that signing doesn't really affect us in anyway.

If we can get him for the MLE then yes. But I don't think he leaves Chicago.
