Dwyane Wade gave a diplomatic answer when he was posed the question about whether his new contract in free agency will be a Kobe Bryant-type contract or a discounted deal like Tim Duncan's and Kevin Garnett's in the past.

When I get into that position, its something Ill think about, Wade said. You have to sit down at the time and see what is best for you and for your team.

D-Wade is getting that Kobe deal, LeBron James said from the next locker.

Wade was glad to see the two-year, $48-plus million extension that Bryant signed with the Los Angeles Lakers last week.

As a player, I loved it. Everyone who gets what they get deserve, its great, Wade said. Theres a reason the Lakers felt that Kobe should get that money. Theres no right or wrong.

The Heat likely would like to work out with Wade a similar situation to when Shaquille O'Neal signed a flexible deal in 2005. Wade has stated he intends to re-sign with Miami in the offseason.

I remember when Shaq did that, Wade said. Not everyone is going to do that.

He'd make $41M over the next two years anyway, if he picks up the option.

But I guess he's gonna get a big deal. Not that I'm opposed to that, I'd love to see him retire in Miami, I'm just concerned about his health going forward.
