Wade feels he has sacrificed enough and wants big money from the HEAT.
$25 million a year according to ESPN.
The HEAT doesn’t really want to give him that much and might be willing to play a game of chicken with him.
Here is the problem for Wade no title contenders has that type of money available, even non-title contenders really can’t afford that much.
Wade can leave the HEAT but he would have to take less, so that is maybe why Pat Riley is just patiently waiting for him to change his mind.
