Why are we getting pissy at Wade? Seriously, the dude has sacrificed everything for this squad with the idea that he's gonna get his loyalty and hardwork rewarded but Riley is trying to tell him to take less again to pay everyone else more.

That would annoy anybody.

Yeah his behavior lately has been unbecoming, but I can't knock him for wanting his paper.
He's taken less numerous times, while Whiteside and Dragic haven't really done shyt, yet they're likely going to get more money than him. Just off that I'd be pissed if I was Wade.

It's his passive aggressive behavior. Having his wife going on Twitter rants, having his kids snap chat "have my money", having his dad show up in cavaliers shirts. You keep this sort of shyt in house. Same way parents that fight ain't supposed to use their kids as leverage against each other.

Wade's being a bit passive aggressive but I can't be mad at him, and his fam, for being annoyed at how ungrateful Riles SEEMS to be acting.

I think the passive aggressive shyt is pretty much Wade's way of saying "Look Riley, I wanna be here but I ain't gonna be disrespected or played like a fool so if you wanna be disloyal to me, I'll do the same."

I'm siding with Wade because he's already sacrificed plenty for the better of the franchise. He deserves to be taken care of, passive aggressive or not.

I'm pretty sure Wade was upfront with his wishes to Riley so I don't think this is him trying to "talk behind the Heat's back".

miami seriously offered wade single digits and yall re taking their side like wade wasn't still the best player on this team this season?
Complaining about wade? The sole reason this franchise became a franchise?
:pacspit:

He should at least have been offered 11 million. They low balled the fukk outta even though he took pay cuts twice for this team when he didn't have to.

You white piece of shyt.
Wade is the hero of this organization and you're treating him like an uppity slave who should learn his place.

fukk you and everybody who feels you.

If they do wade like this after all these years they lose me as fan and I will be putting some voodoo curses on the organization to make sure they go 50 years before they see another ring.

And fukk you too you miserable racist sack of shyt. Wade is seemingly asking for the Kobe contract and being all passive aggressive like a certain diva who disrespected the organization last summer. Keep contract disputes in house and act like an adult. Don't be asking your woman to go on Twitter rants about your contract.

fukk you you slave master mentality having ass Cracker Barrel eating muthafukker,
Throwing an entire legacy out the window cause you suddenly don't his attitude, he was willing to pay cuts but now he's petty because he's not willing to take a third one?
Suddenly Assuming the worst of a guy of his character who gave years to Miami because what?
That's what all he did was worth to you? A good riddens. Over his girl being upset?
How do you know he even set that up? I don't even know wade and I'm ranting too.
Dude has been acting professionally and weighing his options like a business. He never said anything negative about the organization.they just flat out are doing him dirty.

Man you're the only one co-signing his acting like this and you're a sad enough individual to reduce this to race trolling? Wade ain't stupid. If he didn't want gabby doing that shyt on Twitter he would have asked her and his dad showing up in a cavaliers shirt and using the heat in a past tense on tv was calculated. If he wants to wear heat colors he can't be asking for the Kobe contract. Not when he's missing 20 games a year and not being the player he used to be. League structure doesn't allow contenders to pay players like that. Like it or not, at 33 going on 34 Wade can't be a max contract player on a title team. Riley doesn't overpay for past services and certainly doesn't do cat and mouse or play a game of chicken through his people. You're out here calling me the fake fan while talking about putting a curse on the heat of they don't massively overpay? You gonna hop on that cavaliers band wagon should Wade bounce too?

So when is that opt out date? This summer bout to get ugly and im torn between my fav player and my fav team. I hate the way wade acting. Its very bron like and its probably hitting a nerve with riles especially since it seems like wade is siding wit bron.

Even if wade gets his money who is to say he wont come back with a worse attitude because he locked in most likely with a no trade clause at that. If he fires his agent and gets rich paul i might vomit

It's getting ugly no doubt. Bron went and fukked this whole team up to its core last summer. Heat gotta pay him well but he can't be acting like LeBron has since the 2014 finals ended putting himself above the team. Riley has to think about the future of the whole team and building a contender that can win titles again soon. I want 3 on our next title team but he can't ask for max money and expect it here.

Riley should overpay though. I'm sorry but Wade deserves every cent we can give him and we all know that Wade was taking paycuts, despite being worth WAY more than what he was given, solely to help out our franchises.

Saying "we don't overpay for past achievements" seems fukkin ugly to me because Wade gambled his money on the hopes that the Heat would take care of him later. Offering Bosh, Dragic, and Whiteside these high ass deals while Wade is left with crumbs seems lame as fukk.

Honestly, I wouldn't even mind a subpar season if Wade was given Kobe money because he fukkin deserves it, just like Kobe deserves his money. How much money and success has Wade brought the Heat since he was drafted yet they offering him single digit offers?

He's definitely worth more here than anywhere else but the Kobe contract cripples this team in the long term. Takes them out of the running next summer. I highly doubt they started by offering under ten when he made sixteen just last year. If anything I'm guessing that's a bluff. Same as 2008 when Ray Lewis hit the market the Ravens paid more I'm sure than anyone else would have. Just handle it professionally and I got faith they'll do right by him. They didn't need to offer bosh THAT much last summer because that's an issue right now. At least they aren't throwing another one of those at dragon. Lots of guys left to pay and this still leave the issue of wing defense, speed, and three point shooting.
