After the Heat offered Dwyane Wade just $10 million per year, Miami's franchise player began to seriously look at other teams. Wade has received offers of $20 million or more from at least four teams since free agency opened on Friday.

Many, if not most, Heat fans don't want to see their longtime star go. To help keep him in South Beach, some fans have created a GoFundMe campaign and website, PayWade.com, to raise money so that the Heat can up their offer.

The GoFundMe described the situation aptly, while acknowledging this might not actually be allowed:

Since 2003, Wade has been the face of the franchise, the reason why Miami is now considered a basketball town. Let the organization know that we the fans are not happy about all this stuff we're hearing about $10 million offers and meetings being scheduled with other teams such as the Bucks and Knicks.

The organization is very good at preaching about family and it's time they start practicing what they preach by not taking Wade for granted and taking care of one of their own.

Let's do whatever it takes to keep him in Miami-Wade County.

If the team won't pay him, we the fans will! Since their offer of $10 million is clearly not enough, let's match it and get him to $20 million.

* Well, not really cause we're sure it's against NBA rules, but we'll pass along any donations of the Pay Wade movement to Wade's World Foundation.

Both the GoFundMe and website have been shut down.
