Wade sat on the sofa, staring straight ahead.

The living room is dark, and the TV set is the only light source in this space.

But clearly, Wade's mind is not on the TV.

He looked at the clock and it was between 12 and 1.

It was late at night, but Wade was not sleepy. He took out his mobile phone again and watched today's news.

"The heat offered an insulting price of 18 million for two years to renew Wade's contract, and the negotiations have reached an impasse."

"At a time when Ryan Anderson gets 20 million a year and Nicholas Batum gets a billion dollar contract, Pat Riley gives Wade 18 million?"

"What a shame! See what Cuban does to Dirk, asshole

"Dwyane Wade didn't respond and most people thought he would choose to leave Miami. At present, Wade's hometown team Chicago Bulls are actively negotiating

Wade laughed. I didn't expect that at his age of 34, he could still cause such a big disturbance in the free agent market.

Of course, it's just self mockery. Because from the bottom of his heart, Wade was not happy at all.

Being abandoned by the Miami heat is something Wade never thought about.

In this wage cap skyrocketing, in this everyone can get big contract, as long as it is a starter can get 20 million background.

Wade couldn't believe Pat Riley had made that decision!

In fact, Wade is not eager to take much money. Wade is even willing to voluntarily cut wages for the heat if necessary.

As the city's signboard, it is natural to reduce wages and stay in the team. It's just that there's a minimum of respect.

The point is, the heat's contract is really lack of respect, Wade wants respect.

As a matter of fact, Riley had been having a hard time with Wade two years ago.

Last year, the two sides had a lot of trouble for the most part of the season and ended up with 20 million yuan a year.

Pat Riley didn't give wade a clear answer before the free agent market opened this year. Combined with the experience of the previous two years, Wade's heart has been a little hurt.

As a result, Riley has now offered such a humiliating price.

18 million in two years, you know, just this morning, the heat just signed Joe Johnson with 22 million in two years!

That is to say, in Pat Riley's eyes, his team spirit is not even as important as a past scorer!

Fans are joking, the heat are generous to everyone, except Wade, Pat Riley really takes Wade as his family.

This insulting offer made Wade very sad. What is it like? He made Miami his home and devoted all his youth to it.

But when he was old and wanted to die well, he was kicked away cruelly.

Wade is no longer a kid. He has been in the League for 13 years. He's seen too many coming and going, breaking and closing.

But this time, when it came to wade himself, he couldn't accept it.

In 2010, Dirk stayed in Dallas for four years with 80 million. At that time, it was reported that Kuban actually offered Dirk a contract of 96 million for four years, but Dirk refused.

"It's too much. I only need 80 million for four years," Dirk told Cuban.

In the same year, Ray Allen renewed his contract by 20 million in two years and pierce 61 million in four years. At that time, Ray Allen and pierce were no longer young, and the league's wage cap was only 58 million.

People have always said that Dany Angie is a cold-blooded and heartless bastard, but this time, compared with Pat Riley's operation, he is simply too warm.

Of course, how can we forget that Kobe still signed a two-year contract worth 48.5 million with the Lakers after his 36 year old injury.

Don't the general managers of these teams really know that these players are old? Do they really care about salary space?

Of course not!

But this is respect!

Respect is not something everyone deserves, but the heat should respect Wade.

The two Championships were not listed first. In 2014, James returned to Cleveland. Riley immediately gave bosh a contract of 118 million for five years.

But what about Wade? He didn't get the final pension contract. Instead, he jumped out of the original 42 million for two years, and then signed a contract of 31 million for two years...

Yes, he jumped out of the current contract and signed a smaller one... No one would do this, but Wade did it to make the heat have salary space to operate.

What's the reward he's waiting for? It's an insulting offer of less than 10 million a year.

Shaking his head, Wade turned off the TV. But he didn't intend to end the day like this. He picked up his cell phone and dialed a call."Hank, are you still up? I want to... Well, I want to see you now. "

"Now?" The voice on the other end of the phone was a little confused. After all, it was almost one o'clock in the morning.

"Well, right now."

"Well, see you at the same place?"

"The old place."

Wade sits in a street basketball court on the edge of Miami Beach. He likes it because the atmosphere reminds him of the streets of Chicago.

After a while, a man with a retro moustache, glasses, gray hair and a chubby figure came over.

Wade smiles when he sees him. Whenever I could see him, Wade was at ease.

Henry hank Thomas, CAA's professional sports manager. His first client was Tim Hadaway, who signed Wade and Bosh in 2003.

But in fact, the relationship between Thomas and wade began before 2003.

From the moment Thomas entered the old dormitory building of Marquette University and met Wade and his family, mutual trust was established.

At that time, Wade and his father quarreled, and it was Thomas who took charge of Wade's entry into the NBA and gave his family great help.

Wade has always been reluctant to call Thomas his manager because for him, Thomas means more.

To put it bluntly, Wade thinks Thomas's identity is more like... Father!

When he was lost, it was Thomas who brought him into the NBA.

Now, Wade believes Thomas can still point a way for his lost self.

"Sorry, hank. I know it's late." Wade told Thomas to sit down and waved.

"It doesn't matter. I'm used to it." Thomas shrugged, and it's not the first time he's worried about Wade's contract renewal in the last two years.

"What did they say this afternoon?"

"Pat Riley said he was willing to raise his salary."

"Is it? How much? " Wade was overjoyed, and sure enough, Riley was not ungrateful!

"20 million in two years, yes, two million more than 18 million in two years."

"Shit!" Wade's mood changed from sunny to cloudy.

"I've said for a long time that you don't always give in. Don't always give in. You don't believe it. Do you think Pat Riley will thank you for your concession? No, he will only squeeze you further because of your concession. " Thomas shakes his head. It's not that he hasn't advised Wade before. 14 years ago, he even suggested wade to leave.

At that time Wade's form, he could have signed a long-term contract with a championship team.

As a result, Wade refused. He chose to jump out of the contract and voluntarily cut his salary. Wade was proud to say, "I'm a heat player, I'm not going anywhere.".

How proud Wade was then, how frustrated he is now.

"Yeah... Maybe I should have listened to you... So Miami can't stay." Wade looked up at the city that belonged to him, and his heart ached.

"If you don't mind Riley insulting you like that, you can choose to stay."

"Ha ha, what are the potential families?"

"Chicago, your hometown." "They're very competitive in the East, and Jimmy Butler's growth has been terrifying," Thomas replied without thinking

"What if... I mean, I don't want to be in the east?"

After Wade said this, Thomas cast a surprised look.

"You're still thinking about Miami? Don't want to be the heat's opponent? Even for this, to give up the call of their hometown team!? My God, you are hopeless, Devine

Wade cocked his mouth slightly and shook his head. "You can think of me as hopeless, Thomas. By the way, any news about Memphis Grizzlies? "

At this time, Wade suddenly remembered a few days ago in Los Angeles, link sent himself that text message.

"Yes, they have, and the offer is sincere. But I don't think you can keep your exposure under link's aura. All the players playing around him are tepid stars like Gasol, Conley and igordala, and only such players are suitable for him. But you're different, devine. Besides, if you join the Grizzlies and join a team that has left scars on Miami, public opinion will be very bad for you

"You're still thinking about Miami? You're hopeless, Thomas Wade hit back at his manager.

"Hey, I said I didn't want to be in the East, not because of the Miami Heat. Do you know what I'm thinking now, Thomas Wade continued.

"What are you thinking?"

"I want to win!" He answered categorically.

"Have you thought about it?"

"Almost. Since you can't live in Miami... Go to a place where you can win. In the last few years, I don't want to give up. "Wade said, picked up the phone and found link's phone number.

This time, it's his turn to text link.

After the heat lost to the Grizzlies in the 14 year finals, link and wade hugged and said you are welcome to visit Memphis anytime.

In the summer of 16 years, Wade finally decided to go to Memphis for a good break.

"Now, do you still welcome me?"

A simple text message determines the way Wade will go in the future.
