Serious question, why didn't Bosh take a pay-cut:dwillhuh:

...his covert health issue has made idle for two seasons:francis:

Don Riles:laff: deserves all the HEAT, but Chris did Wade County foul too:rudy:
Wade & Bosh both have the same agent
There agent had to no getting Bosh that deal would screw Wade over in the long run
If we don't give Bosh the full max we have money for Wade
Pat can't even pick up the phone or talk to Wade but he can bend over backwards to resign Bosh

Signing that scrub Mcroberts and maxing Dragic is what really did it.

How could he, or anyone else foresee that? There is no hard cap and the Heat had his bird rights. Plenty of shyt has happened since then that hindered their ability to pay Wade (see Dragic and Whiteside and the KD pipe dream) including Pat getting in his feelings about Wade and Bron's relationship.

Man, Im glad Wade is gonna get his $7 million over these 2 years. The Heat showed this man no love. The 2 year/$40 million deal was mad late and not enough.

The dude took pay cuts for other players for years to get people into Miami, and they didnt show him the love. The story being put out there is that for Wade to get that extra money, Miami was looking to give up McRoberts (who hasnt done anything, and would be a good move), but no team would take McBob without Justise Winslow as well (would not be a good idea to give up Winslow this early).

I think the big thing is that Wade and Whiteside must not have got along well. I dont think Wade really wanted to deal with Whiteside's immaturity. Whiteside seems like he was willing to adjust his contract to bring Durant into Miami, but it doesnt seem like he was willing to do the same to keep Wade in Miami.

At first I thought Pat Riley fukked up, but after hearing all this news about him curving Wade like that, I get the feeling he didn't even really want him back anyways

It seems that this is the most likely scenario. I'm not saying that to defend his decision since I think it is petty as fukk.

Pat felt like it would handcuff him in the long run.

:what: Wade was the reason Whiteside had a great season. Dude is tight as fukk with Wade especially since hes the only one who knew how to get him the ball.

Ok, so why wasnt Whiteside willing to adjust his contract so Wade can get his money if Wade helped Whiteside get this big contract in the first place? You are making my point.
