yeah, I think that's a fair read of the situation.

Wed have to pay up

so something like Monroe 4 years 13mm per

Wade 3 years 15mm per. But hes a good NBA SG:) even at 75%

Understood
but DJ doesn't want him, he'd be a great leader in NY and a winner. But Knicks and NBA pros whom spend time on pine street clothes cause of injuries
isn't what Knicks need to go forward and build on. That hasn't even worked for Knicks. Also someone else's star don't work either unless that superstar
is as young as Kevin Durant , and or K.Leonard of BULLs.

However I'd see Wade going back to hometown Chicago bulls, especially if Jimmy Butler leaves and the penny cheap BULLs give WADE an offer he can live with.

NY need to stick with youth movement 2 ways players, Carmelo here (what 30? or 31 to be) is old enough.

I'd agree with you if Dwade can stay of court healthy slighty more or better than 75%
but we all know that will not happen again with Dwade knees.

Look at Dwade and Kobe the last few years.
Carmelo is catching up with them .. in terms of health concerns and Melo isn't even close to Dwade OR Kobe as far as Champ title status.
Something to think about ...

If Miami is willing to give shump $7-8m, Wade could get up to $18.5m. Haywood's contract is non guaranteed if he is cut before aug 3rd I think so it's only costing Miami shump money.

You could also use JR instead of Shump but I think the Heat would want the younger player even if he isn't the better player.

Clippers have 13 mil in space if they don't resign Jordan and Craw..And they too can do Redick sign and trade...

That 13m would probably go to Tyson or another Center. Also, the Clips would need Redick off the bench. plus I doubt Redick and Crawford would be appealing to the heat given their age. Maybe redick would but still Craw & Red only gets Wade 12m. I guess that's good money if that's all you got.
