Dwayne Wade May Opt Out of Contract

As we all know last off season Dwayne Wayne took a significant pay cut so the Heat could resign LeBron James to a max deal so he could stay with the Miami Heat. But, as we know LeBron James decided to return home to play for his hometown team the Cleveland Cavaliers. So the Miami Heat now are left with a decent amount of money to spend this off season. This is the second time in Wade's Heat tenure that he took a pay cut for the betterment of the team. The pay cut he took last summer had him lose about 6 million dollars. So with that being said Wade is looking for a raise. Dwayne Wade will more then likely opt out of his 2 year 33 million dollar deal.

If the Heat doesn't give him a raise he has made it clear that he will become a free agent and look for a new team that is willing to pay him. It's time the Miami Heat show Dwayne Wade the loyalty he has been giving them for the past 12 years. Dwayne Wade has brought 3 NBA championships to the Miami Heat. Even with Wade aging he was still able to average 21.5 points per game , 4.8 assists per game, and 3.5 rebounds per game this season. So if the Heat don't want to get any worse they what they were this year they better give him what he asks for. There should not be anyone saying Wade is being greedy and selfish because he has shown everyone he's all about winning and doing what's best for the team.

As we saw last season with LeBron in Miami they lost in the NBA Finals to the San Antonio Spurs. Without LeBron and with Bosh having to sit out the rest of the season due to blood clots the Miami Heat are a lottery team with the 10th pick in this year draft. If Miami loses Dwayne Wade in free agency they could be a NBA Lottery team the following season as well. Dwayne Wade deserves a raise and he deserves to retire a Miami Heat player. Hopefully Pat Riley and the Miami Heat front office makes the right decision and resigns Wade to the deal he wants.
