Dwyane Wade about to be $80 million richer

[nBarnett56]

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>As for Dwyane Wade, it's very likely he will be offered -- and accept -- a maximum five-year extension worth an estimated $80 million when he's eligible to do it between July 12 and October 31. Asked Tuesday if that's his inclination, he said, ``It's not on my mind yet. It's great they will . . . look to me [early]to be offered that kind of contract, but . . . my agent and I haven't talked about it yet. I've had a great three years here, and it has gone by fast. To be going into a summer and it's time for contract talks, it's kind of strange.'' If Wade surprisingly doesn't sign an extension -- and no team could offer him as much as Miami -- he could become a restricted free agent after 2006-07 and unrestricted after 2007-08.</div>

When you're that rich, so and so being richer than so and so doesn't make all that much of a difference. They are loaded, no matter what.

I still think Basketball players in general are the most overpaid athletes. But good for him, I guess.

and also.. u do a shit load of less activity in baseball then basketball, basketball is more active then pretty much any other sport.. its non stop running, in every other sport.. theres good moments where u just stand around.. or sit around and just enjoy..

Wade, LeBron, Carmelo, Bosh, even Hinrich are all going to be signing some pretty nice contracts. That was a pretty good draft year.

Wade definatley deserves that kind of money because he's done so much for his team so it would be a shame if they don't re-do his contract but like he said it's a long way to go so we'll see what happens

That is a lot of cash for D Wade... he does deserve it though.
