The Dwyane Wade contract situation is particularly interesting because it opens up a debate about if teams should pay long-time players for what they have done, rather than what they can do now. It’s the same debate we had when Kobe Bryant signed his monster deal, but it’s an interesting one nonetheless.
The Miami Heat and Wade have reportedly met in impasse in contract negotiations, with Wade looking to sign one more big deal with the Heat and the team hoping to maintain cap flexibility in 2016. When it comes to paying him for what he has done, Wade is a legend in the South Florida sports market.
