    This can be great for us. Hassan might blame the Heat for not signing Wade on purpose, the Heat never really wanted to max Hassan.
    There could be a mutual break up from both sides, fucking Dallas is out of the picture because they blew all their money on the Golden State refugees.

    It's a long shot, but we might get a good player after all.

    I forgot Marion and Jermaine even spent washed up portions of their career there, let alone at those salaries. Wow. Imagine what that would be in '16+ dollars.

    It's a smart move really... the Heat fans will blame Wade.

    Riley with the jedi mind trick. People are so gullible. He offers Wade below his market value (which he has done for years now), and he tricked people into thinking Wade left their team. In reality Riley silently kicked him to the curb.

    What a bunch of ignorant clowns. Dude helps bring 3 rings to a city that otherwise would have none. Let's show our gratitude by burning his jersey...

    One of those dudes has their twitter avatar as the Jets, Rangers, and Yankees, then the Miami Heat. Wonder if its a NY fan who became a Heat fan in 2012 because they couldn't take any more Knicks Basketball.

    Lots of people responding to his tweet with some knowledge though.



    Wade took a paycut after paycut to gather talent around him which put Miami in a position to compete, dude deserves to get paid.

    I had no idea that he's never been the highest paid player in Miami...in 14 seasons!!!

    If a guy won us even ONE championship, we fucking retire his number. Hell, we retire the 8th man in the rotation.

    Wow. So is Whiteside the wookie? :doh:

    They could've at least put his face on him. They gave him a Heat hat... :sleep:

    I'm pretty sure most jersey burners do it for the attention.

    Riley been low balling Wade for years I don't blame Wade. Riley have been one those guys that had superstars around him to make him look good. Kind of like Phil Jackson. They never have took a team like Minnesota and make them in championship caliber team.

    This is why you never buy a jersey of someone on the current roster. Literally makes no sense. My son wanted a Raiders jersey last Christmas, and he got one. he got a Ken Stabler Jersey. Completely loves it, and he'll never have to burn it

    Why do people burn jerseys anyway?

    "That'll show him"

    While he just made $60 million or whatever amount of money, and could care less that you have an adverse reaction to a personal decision for him and his family. lol.

    Speaking of which, did any blazers fans burn LA's jersey? Granted, a much less (no rings, nothing what wade or james did... though, I guess James didn't win a ring his first go around at cleveland) of an example...
