5years? Wade wont last 3 bro. I don't know wtf these cats are talking about. And neither do they. Any business offer you guaranteed dollars that aren't tied to performance you take it. Period.
But it's not his call if he signs the contract.
You don't get that.
He can't just say, I'm out.
Steve Nash, you're hurt, why are you playing next year and not just retiring? Because I want my money.
Nash only played in 10 games last year and he can't just say, Oh I'm out, retired, pay me.
What makes you think Wade will be able to say, in 3 years, yeah, I'm out pay me?
As long as the Heat feel like a few minutes of Wade in the playoffs is worth more to them than paying him to go away his ass will be sitting on the pine or whatever else they tell him to do. I don't think you know what signing a contract means.
