The last contract of Dwyane Wade’s NBA career is for the league veteran minimum: $2.4 million.
The shooting guard obviously wasn’t looking for a huge contract; it simply isn’t possible with the Miami Heat’s current salary situation.
However, even with the cap, Miami actually had a $5.3 million mid-level exception to offer Wade.
Instead, Wade’s contract will look more like that of Jordan Mickey, Rodney McGruder and A.J. Hammons.
The Miami legend, who will go down as the franchise leader in points, assists, steals, games and much more, will have never been the highest paid player in his 15 seasons with the Heat.
