According to ESPN’s Marc Stein, the Denver Nuggets have offered free agent Dwyane Wade a two-year contract for more than $50 million. That offer is the highest offer any team has made to Wade.
The Nuggets' two-year offer to Dwayne Wade is north of $50 million, according to league sources, with Denver still hopeful Wade accepts it.

Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports later reported that the Nuggets exact offer is two-years, $52 million. That would be $12 million more than the Miami Heat’s latest offer to the free agent guard. Wojnarowski also reported that the Nuggets and Wade have scheduled a meeting in New York City on Wednesday. Josh Kroenke, Tim Connelly, and Michael Malone will be representing the Nuggets at the meeting.

Even with the big offer the Nuggets have made, it remains unlikely that Wade will sign with Denver. He is most likely using the Nuggets as leverage to get the Heat to make a more lucrative offer. Wade has multiple meetings scheduled tomorrow with other teams, according to ESPN’s Tim Reynolds.
If somehow Wade does end up signing with Denver, the Nuggets will have five capable shooting guards and an extremely crowded roster. Some changes will have to be made. What would happen next? Read along to find out.
