Yeah, I have zero problem with it specifically for that reason. This is part of the free agency system. If a guy wants to sign a contract for less money because they value other things more, that's their right within that system. If you really want competitive balance the Eastern Conference needs to get better, as a whole, so that the Heat have to at least be challenged. If you're a team in the West, have so many stars on one team in the East almost makes your chances better to contend, at least in your own conference

That said, let's be honest here - if Melo does sign with the Heat and it becomes a Big 4, there's going to be friction. Wade's a shell of what he used to be. James, Bosh and Melo taking a pay cut to play together and making roughly equal money is one thing, because they're all still somewhat equal players in their prime. Wade taking less money on his current contract to make him monetarily equal with those other three... he'd be really overpaid. There would be problems.
