July 16, 201412 yr Of the big three, Wade returning to the Heat is the one that surprises me the least.
July 16, 201412 yr LeBron actually cost Wade more than $6M when you consider he signed for less four years ago than what he would have received on the open market. LeBron also put two more rings on Wade's fingers and solidified Wade as a Hall of Famer. Fair trade?
July 16, 201412 yr ^ Negative, no chance he opts out if he knows Lebron is leaving. So you think Lebron said he was staying in Miami? As dirty as Wade is there is no way Lebron told him he was staying and Wade hasn't called him out on it. Not to mention Wade was with Lebron quite a bit less than 24 hours from his decision to go home. I'm thinking there is no way Wade didn't know he was going back home. Especially after Riley talked to Lebron. No way is this on Lebron. This is all on Wade. All Lebron said is that he wanted a max contract. How Wade responses to that is on Wade. I love how it's Lebron's fault that Wade is stupid. Bosh opted out as well and got more money. Is that Lebron's fault too?

July 16, 201412 yr Author Wade sacrificed more than any of the "Big 3" in the whole Miami deal. There was no way he was going to be able to recoup giving up his last years of being able to earn anywhere near what he was able to at the time, plus he gave up being the face of his franchise. Dirty as he may be, you can't call him too selfish in the whole thing because there's no way they're able to pull the whole deal off without him.

Let's not act like Wade made 2 million a season.
July 16, 201412 yr Wade signed for less than max four years ago to allow for the signing of James/Bosh. In theory, those two titles cost Wade $36M.
