re: Fo those clamoring for Will Wade to get a big raise

We don't need to give him a raise, just for the sake of giving him a raise. If other teams come calling, then you pay the man. If he begins to sniff around, and pay is the issue, you pay the man.

An unforced raise as a show of support, faith, and loyalty is a pretty powerful statement and can go a long way in retaining a coach when someone does eventually come calling.
