Wade, Bosh & Haslem all OPT OUT

[Draje]

fukk that... Get money.

Breh, dudes like Haslem and Wade are pretty much set for life by the Miami organization. Lebron makes insane money off of endorsements and so forth.

Wade could lose all his money tomorrow, in a freak accident, and he'd be fine because the Heat plus the city of Miami would take care of him.

Wade's contract clearly seems to be the biggest problem here....honestly they need to make a deal of giving him part of his contract as guaranteed cash to cut him in order to free up roster and cap space

Man look I don't work for the PA lol. I'm just saying what Ive heard others with better understanding than me on this subject are saying and I agree with them since it would f it up for other lesser players.

Nothing is gonna stop Kyrie or Love or any of the players in the L who are lesser than Lebron (aka all of them ) from getting their max deals. The fact still remains that that issue doesn't even exist without the limitations that the PA allowed to be put in place.

Yeah that could all happen and he still take his $20 mil.

If I'm Melo, why would I take the same amount of money as two other dudes who I am better than?

That's what fukks me up about this "take less" shyt.

Because we, as fans, put an ungodly amount of pressure for players to win championships and stars are looked at as failures if they don't get rings rather than be appreciated on the merits of their ability.

I love how these guys wanting to win makes you nikkas mad

Same with the Spurs



Money come and goes but rings don't

I love the new CBA

Only problem with that is when the money dries out, them rings of the Championships you won only bring you a low percentage of the money you gave up in your playing days at the Auction.

the lack of common sense in this thread tho

UD was guaranteed 4.6 million on a one year contract. What will his worth be after next season? What kind of free agent contract would a 36 year old get after next season? A vet minimum? 2 million at most from a bottom feeder team? So he turns 4.6 million guaranteed into maybe 6 million over 2 years guaranteed. He just upped his guaranteed money and gets to stay where he wants. How again is he losing in this?

Same with Wade, who by Coli consensus is washed. He is guaranteed like 41 million over the next 2 years. What would a 34 year old Dwyane Wade command as a free agent in 2 years? Not fukking much. So instead he takes a 4 year 55 million dollar deal,he just upped his guaranteed money by at least 14 million, but somehow he is losing in this?

Coli logic

 

[Brandsdale]

what else does Wade want? You have 3 championships, a finals MVP, and a high possibility of winning another title and you're beginning to decline again.

edit: he's not leaving

maybe he doesn't care did that ever factor into you nikkas brains ? maybe after 11 plus years the nikka just doesn't care anymore ? like that isnt a possibility for you nikkas ? then if he took all that money like yall want him to (cuz i guess he deserves it) would yall shyt on him like Kobe or would yall praise him ? or do yall want him in Hou with harden and howard to laugh for comedic purposes ? personally i dont care where he goes but the fact that you nikkas just dont realize maybe he dont think he built like that is funny to me


melo tried as the man failed

Bron to an extent tried as the man for 7 years failed

bosh nikka never sniffed the playoffs

Wade you could basically said he did it as the Man but had shaq not been there yeah he wasn't the same shaq but do u think we woulda got by detroit without him ?

cmon nikka smarten up

True, but 4 years at 56 mil or 5 years at 130?

I mean you can only really enjoy but so much in your life time... but that's a major drop

If these figures are correct, I can honestly only see him making up that difference on the back end through endorsements and marketing.

And let's keep it 500.....even with Melo...the heat aren't guaranteed to win a thing

Melo's his own man, but IMO his best bet would have been to take that deal with the Knicks with options...and see what Phil Jackson has up his sleeve.

'Shrug'

You looking from the eyes of a non-millionaire. Wade knows he's not really stressing money ever again.

Melo, Wade, Lebron, and those types are so rich that they could stop playing right now, never work another day in their life, and have generational wealth left over for their grand kids with the most basic of financial investments.

No. That's YOU and the rest of these "holier than thou" fans when in reality, if $42 mil is dangling in front of you like one of those carrots in a Bugs Bunny cartoon, you taking that shyt.

Fans are stupid and unrealistic.

 

[Brief Keef]

This is how I look at it. They think adding a superstar is the answer but hopefully with clearing this space they go out and beef up the bench.






Still.... Wade not taking this money is

do you know for a fact carmelo is coming here ? what if you're wrong ? lol nikkas swear they're Stephen A's around here

No. I'm looking from the eyes of a nikka that wants every penny coming to him. So yeah, to me it's stupid.
