The Heat need Wade desperately. The fan base rarely turns out in full force w/ Wade. The fans would lose total interest losing Wade 2 years after losing Lebron. No one is showing up to see Whiteside and possibly a blood clotted Bosh.
They don't need to pay him 25 million, but 20 million a season is acceptable. An overpay, but necessary to keep the face of the franchise on your team. The dude is old but needed in the playoffs and crunch time. He's still pretty darn clutch in big games. If they can do another 1/20 million this season, and then a 3/60-65 next year I'd be fine with that. He's earned it. He shouldn't take a pay cut.
