Dwyane Wade Safari

[Ohio]

If he opts out, he's not coming here... so that ship has sailed.

Yep.. Well, we might as well close this thread. That's over and done with as there is no way in hell he'd come here for the mini-MLE and once he becomes a free agent, we can no longer trade for him.

Wow, this pretty much marks the end of the Wade era in Miami. Wondering what teams would consider him?

Here's to hoping Wade signs for the max with Miami, or peaces out for somewhere else (preferably out west). Because fuck Miami.

I mean not necessarily. A la LeBron/Love, he was always opting out. He's been very clear he wants a new, long-term contract.

Miami could go from 10th worst team in the league to bottom very quickly here. That unprotected pick is looking pretty decent right about now.

Edit:I just hope Philly gets a C with it.

Why do I feel like a part of your summer just died

I guess it's up to Riley then. This is perhaps the juiciest storyline regarding FA 2015. Sure, Wade isn't on the level of Aldridge anymore but we are talking about one of the best players in the last decade.

I really don't picture Riley throwing Kobe money at Wade, considering his recent injury history.

It was a fun ride thinking there was a chance, but hey, at least he might really leave Miami.

Very curious to see where he goes. Especially if LMA goes to the Lakers, and surprises everyone.

New York? Wade seems too smart for that, but they'd probably pay him.

This might be a gigantic bluff by Wade, and he's going to come back anyways, because his other options don't look that appealing either.

I kinda saw it coming on draft night.

When we didn't do anything with the pick (trade it for another pick); then I came to the realization that there was 0% chance we'd have anything of value to trade to the Heat.

If we had the pick+future pick, or several future picks, then it'd make sense. But just trading Haywood+Miller makes very little sense at all.

I'm sure he'll re-sign at this point. He's a lifer like Kobe is in L.A.

So I give it a one percent chance of happening but this does open up the ultimate fu to Rileyif Wade says f it f u lol. Again one percent chance don't close the thread just yet lol

Thing is, the Heat could have extended him. They had until tomorrow to get an extension worked out; that was the point of their discussions.

Wade opting out means they couldn't agree to terms and he's going to test the market.

It doesn't mean he's not going back to Miami; but it is a sign that he's choosing to look elsewhere at this point.

So all that reuniting down the line was just smoke. Well, where there's smoke, there's fire! Wade is coming for the mini MLE!!!!
