That was my whole point bruh. With all that he's done for that franchise, and all the money he's made them, to first of all, low ball him offering him half of what he made last year, when the cap has gone up was some bullshit! Conley, who hasn't done a fraction for the Grizzlies organization that Wade has done for the heat, the first damn day of Free Agency is smiling and shit because they gave him the largest contract in History, while Wade is left being treated like a second class citizen is some bullshit. Riley, probably made promises and shit to him all these years, now that he is on the decline, Riley is treating him like shit. Even that 2 year 40 mill offer is disrespectful with all the bread bums are getting this off season... Do you think LeBron is going to have to negotiate with Gilbert, or is Gilbert going to do whats right by him from the door?!?! Wade may not be on LeBrons level now, but he is arguably as important to the history of the Heat as LeBron is to the Cavs... Riley straight dogged Wade out, and anyone who argues otherwise is not making any damn sense whatsoever...
I think Riley didn't believe Wade would leave. I think he waited too long to field some serious offers too. He really doesn't wanna go. Even with Whiteside getting his money they still could have taken care of him without the situation being dragged out. He loves the Heat. He loves Miami. He is the greatest player in the franchise. And was relatively healthy last year. Pay him.
