Wade: Why Not? I'd Take $50 Mil. Too!

—

Here was the question that came from a Greek reporter: Would Dwyane Wade think of playing in Greece if he received a deal like the rumored one revolving LeBron James for $50 million a year? "Oh, yeah," he says. Has anyone contacted him? "No, no, no," he says. "I'm happy with the Heat. But we've been joking with LeBron about that. The numbers talk, no question about it."

Heck, I will take 5 million and blog and podcast for not just one team, but 2 or 3 teams. After 3 I would have to ask a bit more, you know, travel expenses aren't cheap! (lol)
