Miami Heat should be Investigated for Wade/Bosh 40 Million Contract Opt Outs

[BallsOut]

Both Wade and Bosh opted out of their remaining 2 year 40+ million contracts. If they sign for anything significantly less than that like 15 mill per year to stay with the Heat in order to bring in more help, the Miami Heat front office should be investigated for paying under the table to its players. Discuss.

Investigated by who?

Dirk just took $10mil/yr, he probably could've gotten $16 on the open market.

Duncan is the same way.

It's not some insane thing that these guys turn down a few million dollars in order to compete for championships. At some point you're not going to be able to spend the 100's of millions of dollars you've made and your shot at immortality via winning rings is worth more than money can offer you.

Duncan and Dirk are way past their primes. No team is paying them 16 mill on the open market. Bosh and Wade are like 10 years younger than them.

Wade looked older than Duncan in the finals.

Players negotiate ETO's and player options in their contracts for a reason. They can exercise them. Idiot.

What can the league do about that though? I mean, let's say Prokhorov promised AK some millions back in Russia when he retires. What exactly can the NBA do about it?

proof?

[longtime lurker]

The guy that needs to be investigated is Haslem. He opted out of a guaranteed 4 million and from the sounds of it the Heat won't even have room for him after their big signings. Guaranteed he gets a position with the Heat organization after this season.

They can exercise them, if it helps them make more money. Not lose more money. Idiot

Kirilenko sucks.

Don't let Euroleague hear you say that. Guy is the GOAT in Euroleague.
