The NBA's current Collective Bargaining Agreement with all its constraints is the real cause of the problem. Without salary caps, luxury and punitive taxes, contract restrictions, etc. the Heat and Wade could reach an amicable agreement. The twist is there probably will be a new CBA as soon as 2017. Both Wade and the Heat are taking that into consideration in the bargaining process. Per Sports Illustrated:

Wade was an assistant at VCU for four seasons before taking over the Mocs' program in May of 2013. The 32-year-old Wade recently passed on an opportunity to be the coach at UNC Charlotte, which plays in Conference USA. The job, had he taken it, would have possibly tripled his UTC salary of $187,000.

He was the Southern Conference coach of the year after his initial season. He'll be on a VCU list that is expected to include Rice head coach Mike Rhoades, former Oklahoma coach Jeff Capel and recently released Alabama coach Anthony Grant, who had a prior coaching stint at VCU. One report had Texas' deal with Smart in the neighborhood of $3 million a year over five years.

What Wade witnessed was Chris Bosh not being interest in a discounted Heat LIfer contract and would only stay at a max salary. Goran Dragic is currently using the same tactic. Some believe Wade is just following suit. Most assume Whiteside will do likewise in 2016.
