Riley and Mickey did this to Wade to make room for Westbrook ?

I can't see any other reason.

Maybe not Westbrook specifically but Top FAs, yeah I can see it.

What's all this "did this to him" talky talk?

He's gone. It's time to move on.
Matter of fact, it's been time to move on.

Peace and much respect to D Wade but damn it's gonna be fun not watching him get back on defense whilst he argues with a ref.

No big name player is going to want to go to Heats after seeing how the organization treated Wade

i think thats been the plan the whole time, they gonna work the phones to get rid of that terrible Dragic deal but that wont b easy

Miami will attract big name players as long as they have no income tax and good weather.

It's simple the way i see it

• Heat had ~ $19M in cap space for this coming season.
  
• Wade wanted more than $23M-$25M range per season (which he deserved)
• Wade wouldnt come back at a discount for a team that's not championship ready (No Durant)
• Heat arent willing to go into luxury again for a team thats not championship ready
• Riley has to choose between locking the franchise into a 3 year contract for a player he feels will only be effective for another 2 or move on to start the rebuilding process.

Look im mad at both sides for not working it out but as a Heat fan and a D-Wade fan i understand and accept it. Look all over the board and you'll find posts where i keep saying "fukk CHAMPIONSHIPS, GET YOUR MONEY because there are way too many broke champions out there". and i stand firmly behind that statement. Wade is 35 and wont get any more big contracts. he has to get his money. The Miami Heat as a franchise will be here long after Wade is gone. They have to protect their capspace nd start thinking about the near future and recover from some of their mistakes with the cap and draft pick.

Sabo gonna get a historic contract no matter where he lands

Dragic deal, give up 2 first rounds, lose Wade, and expect to get Westbrook
