Unless you live under a rock, you know that all of the talk surrounding sports is the NBA free agency. Most folks are focused on LeBron James and The Decision part two. However, I have been spending my time trying to figure out what will happen to D. Wade.
It’s obvious that Wade is trying to be a leader and keep his team together. Many folks want to know why he would do such a thing. I think the short answer is that he wants to win a few more championships before he retires. Dude opted out of $41.8 million over two years. After that contract was up he could have possibly re-signed with his current team, or signed for some additional cash with another team.
Many will argue that D. Wade didn’t contribute much on the court during the playoffs, but I don’t think anybody can argue that by opting out he is making a major contribution to the Heat organization. In my opinion he did it to make sure the Heat had enough money to make the moves they needed to this offseason, including keeping Bosh and James. Bosh has been offered a max deal by the Rockets and James has not made a decision yet. If both James and Bosh decide to walk, where does that leave Wade?
