Wow, here's an interesting development:

"Sources: Rival execs expected to speak with Wade on phone today, armed with belief his contract impasse with Heat has him considering move."

https://twitter.com/WojVerticalNBA/status/748877146240745473

"Rival teams starting to take Dwyane Wade's free agency seriously, w/ GM's telling @TheVertical they've made multi-year offers to his reps."


I would be happy with a short term fall back option of Wade and Howard.

Ugh, I don't know about Wade. I'd definitely take Howard, but in addition to being unlikable, Wade plays a position of strength for us.

I agree. I think Wade is in for a massive decline in his game over the next two years. A major contract for Wade is going to look horrible in a year or two.

But he adds that needed go to scorer as well as experience.  Not to mention that same depth help control his minutes during the regular season.

That's why I said short term contracts.  2year max

Anyone know when our meetings with Horford and Howard are today? I think Horford's meeting is confirmed for today, and Howard's meeting is most likely today.

Wade?  We've got so much guard depth that we could put him on a Duncan-like minutes restriction to have him for the playoffs.

I'd be fine with him on the room exception.

Well, we avoided Mozgov, let's hope another team...any team...has more interest than we do.

If we sign him won't he expect to play? I think we can do better than Humphries as a rotation big free agent and if we can't I rather give Mickey extended minutes than him.
