Report: Dwyane Wade Would ‘Welcome’ a $20 Million Per Year Deal
There exists a fairly sizeable gulf between what Dwyane Wade wants to get paid,
and what the Miami Heat are willing to offer their franchise player.
目前熱火與 Dwyane Wade 雙方再續約上存在一個巨大的歧見:D-Wade想拿多少和到底球隊
願意提供多大的價碼給這位看板球星。
Wade, 33, may opt out of his current deal that will net him $16 million next
season in search of a bigger payday in free agency.
D-Wade現年已33歲，據報可能會選擇跳出明年約$16M的合約，在自由球員市場上尋找
一筆更大的報價
With their eyes on the free agent market next summer, Pat Riley and the Heat
would obviously like for Wade to take less money going forward—something he
already did when him, LeBron James and Chris Bosh famously formed a Big Three
in South Beach—but that will be a very difficult sell this time around.
為了把銀彈鎖定在明年的夏天FA上，熱火總管 Pat Riley 和熱火制服組應該會請 Wade 減
薪，類似先前組三巨頭和 LeBron James + Chris Bosh 合體的時候一樣對他的要求，但這
次同一招對 Wade 可能會行不通了
Per the Miami Herald:
A Wade associate has told people that Wade would welcome a contract averaging
$20 million annually over the next three years. (Note we said welcome, not
demand.) If that’s true, it would be understandable, considering the year
13-15 pay ranges for Duncan and Nowitzki. Wade’s agent, Henry Thomas, politely
declined to confirm that or anything regarding Wade’s specific financial
expectations. [...] We’ve heard the Heat would prefer Wade opt in for $16
million next season, then take a very significant pay cut over the following
two years.
根據Miami Herald報導:
一名 Wade 的友人轉述，Wade會非常樂意接受一筆三年起跳、且平均年薪約$20M左右的
報價(注意我們用的字眼是"期望"，不是"要求")如果這則消息屬實的話，其實也不難
理解，對比當時 Tim Duncan(2009-10:$22M, 10-11:$18.7M, 11-12:$21M)和Dirk
Nowitzki在效力第13-15年的薪水(2010-11:$17M, 11-12:$19M, 12-13:$20M)。
D-Wade的經紀人 Henry Thomas 禮貌地拒絕回應這個消息或是任何有關 Wade 任何薪資報
價的具體數字。我們已經聽說熱火希望 Wade能夠執行下一季$16M的合約後，再為期2年的
巨幅減薪。
The Heat would love for Wade to take a reduced salary like two other Hall of
Fame-caliber players have: Tim Duncan (who earned $10.4 million this season)
and Dirk Nowitzki ($7.9 million). Wade apparently has no interest in making
anything close to that low. So is that reasonable on Wade’s part? [...]
Absolutely. Here’s why: The comparisons between Wade and Duncan and Nowitzki
aren’t fair at this point because the Spurs and Mavericks stars didn’t take
big cuts until well beyond this point in Wade’s career.
熱火希望 D-Wade 能夠效法兩位準名人堂球員 Tim Duncan(本季只拿$10.4M)和 Dirk
Nowitzki(本季只拿$7.9M)的減薪貢獻。但據傳 Wade 目前根本沒有興趣接受減薪減到這麼
大的程度。所以Wade的想法很正常嗎?當然。原因就在於拿現在去比較 Wade, Duncan 和
Nowitzki根本就不公平，因為這兩位馬刺和小牛明星，當時就沒有在生涯像 Wade 一樣在
同個時期就接受巨幅減薪了
The variable with Wade, of course, is that he missed 28 and 20 games the past
two seasons, whereas Duncan and Nowitzki never missed more than seven in any of
the four seasons before their 13th. [...] The injuries concern the Heat,
according to a Heat official, and that’s understandable, too.
當然對 Wade 存在不利的變數在於，他在這兩季分別缺席了28場和20場的比賽，再比對
Duncan 和 Nowitzki 兩人在生涯進入第13季以前，從未出現單季缺席超過7場比賽的紀錄，
根據熱火官方的說法是，傷病史對於球隊而言是擔憂的考量點，同樣也是個不難理解因素
Wade:3yrs/$60M
