Dwyane Wade and the Miami Heat are planning to meet within the next week to
address contract issues and attempt to reach an agreement on the future,
multiple sources told ESPN.
ESPN獲知許多消息, Dwyane Wade與熱火方面預計會在未來一周內商討合約議題, 他們試著
達成雙方對於未來的共識.
Wade has until next Monday to decide on whether he's going to opt in for next
season and earn $16.1 million or become an unrestricted free agent.
Wade and the Heat sit far apart on their desires; the Heat would prefer for
Wade to opt into the deal and Wade would prefer a new, richer and longer-term
contract, sources said.
下周一前, Wade就必須決定是否成為自由球員或是執行下一季的合約(值16.1M). Wade與
熱火之前存在意見上的分歧, 熱火方面傾向讓Wade執行他現有的合約, 然而Wade希望能有
一份長期且更高價的新約.
Wade, who took a pay cut in 2010 when LeBron James and Chris Bosh signed and
again last summer to help make cap space to sign Luol Deng, is interested in
a pay raise and not a pay cut.
It is Wade's desire to stay in Miami and finish his career with the Heat,
sources said. However, the gulf between the sides has led to acrimony in
recent weeks and cast doubt on Wade's future. Wade has been disappointed at
the team's initial overtures considering the money he has left on the table
in his past two free agencies, sources said.
Wade現在想要更高的薪水, 而不是減薪. 2010年熱火簽下LeBron James以及Chris Bosh時,
Wade選擇了降薪. 然而去年的暑假, Wade又降薪了一次以為了清薪資空間簽下Luol Deng.
情報指出, Wade渴望待在邁阿密結束他在熱火的生涯. 然而最近幾周雙方的分岐導致他們
關係緊張, 也讓Wade的未來充滿著疑問. 消息也指出, Wade對於熱火在他前兩次成為自由
球員的初始提案感到失望, 這些提案讓他少拿了錢.
Wade might have other options if he wants to move on from the Heat. One is
the Los Angeles Lakers, who are expected to have ample cap space in July,
sources said.
If Wade does become a free agent, the Lakers would have interest in speaking
with him, sources said, but he is just one of a number of possible free
agents the Lakers would plan to contact.
線報指出, 假如Wade想離開熱火, 他也許有其他選擇, 其中一個是洛杉磯湖人. 湖人預計
在七月會有很充裕的薪資空間. 假如Wade成為自由球員, 湖人會有興趣與他交涉, 但Wade
只是湖人想交涉的自由球員之一而已.
James, who is Wade's close friend, has expressed an interest in reuniting
with him. However, that scenario is unlikely with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Cavs will not have salary-cap space this summer and could offer Wade only
a maximum of a $3.4 million from the taxpayer midlevel exception.
The only way for Wade to get more from the Cavs would be in a sign-and-trade,
or for the Heat to trade Wade to Cleveland after he picked up his option for
next season at $16.1 million. It is extremely unlikely the Heat would
participate in helping Wade get to Cleveland, making these scenarios remote.
而Wade的好友James也表示與他重逢的意願. 然而對騎士隊來說這樣的計畫不太可行. 騎士
在暑假不會有薪資空間, 他們也許只能提供Wade最大3.4M的合約.
能讓Wade在騎士拿更多的唯一方法就是先簽後換, 或者是熱火在Wade選擇執行16.1M的合約
後把他交易至克里夫蘭. 然而熱火非常不可能幫助Wade去克里夫蘭, 使得這項計畫不太
可行.
Also, the Cavs are unlikely to be able to take back a player in a
sign-and-trade this summer. That's because it would trigger the Cavs' payroll
to be hard-capped at about $85 million
