    According to The Vertical's Adrian Wojnarowski, the Denver Nuggets are one of four teams that are aggressively pursuing Dwyane Wade.

    The Chicago Bulls, Dallas Mavericks, Denver Nuggets and Milwaukee Bucks have started a courtship process that has included offers in length of two and three years and upward of $20 million a season – a salary the Heat so far have been reluctant to offer, league sources said.

    The Nuggets and Bulls have been among the most aggressive pursuers of Wade, league sources said.

    This might come as a bit of a surprise to Nuggets fans since Wade hasn't even been on the radar but it is actually indicative of the type of flexibility that the Nuggets have been building toward for years. Let's start at the beginning of Wade's contract negotiations to see what is at play here.

    Despite the last 24 hours being filled with absurdly enormous free agency signings - like former Nuggets' center Timofey Mozgov signing for $64 million - the Miami Heat reportedly offered Wade just $10 million per year. Wade has taken discounts to play with the Heat for years and has led the franchise to three championships. It's certainly not his duty to take a paycut to help Pat Riley build a contender. He's done more than enough for that franchise to demand any number he wants next season.
