Dwayne Wade Returns To Miami

[JokersWild24]

Back with the Heat. Terms of the deal are two years, $34 million.

[CincySportsFan]

Of the big three, Wade returning to the Heat is the one that surprises me the least.

[HammerTime]

So Lebron cost him $6M.

So Lebron cost him $6M.

 

Nope. Wade cost himself 6 million.

^ Negative, no chance he opts out if he knows Lebron is leaving.

[Voice of Reason]

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?

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?

Lebron signed for less also. How much did Wade cost him?

[JokersWild24]

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.

They all sacrificed. Let's not act like Wade made 2 million a season.

[PurplePride92]

Can someone list their salaries for each year they were all 3 in Miami?

[NKY Bandit]

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.

They all signed for less than the max. Why is Wade the only one considered to be making a sacrifice?
