Jimmy “could” seek that money, but it probably will be a similar deal to other aging stars where they agree to a smaller long-term contract (like the $100M over 4 years Draymond took) that factors in the reality that he will be well out of his prime by the time his current deal expires and will likely be a 2nd or 3rd option at best.

Imagine not paying Wade but doing this lol. (Ira is the source though, probably fake news)

Jimmy will have a blank check at this point. The negotiation will surround who he has around him and what we can get.

He’d be 36 making 52M when he can opt out. I doubt we’re stupid enough to offer him 305M+ at age 36

Aren’t we at least another year or probably two away from this?

Everybody chill, it’s just Ira being bored as fuck. Jimmy is not demanding that money and Heat is not giving that money. lol

Why is Jaylen Brown the water mark? Isn’t the highest paid player just the most recent max contract signed? Seems like a weird comparison. He won’t be the highest paid player for long.

I love Jimmy but he’s already 33. So HELL NO to giving him that kind of contract.

How ??? He’ll be 37 years old when his contract is up. That’s a joke.

Ira Whinderman is such a disservice to sports reporting, the Heat franchise and the Heat fanbase.
