It appears the inevitable finally has become a reality.
For the past two months, rumors have swirled that the Chicago Bulls were trying to reach a buyout with veteran guard Dwyane Wade. And the two sides reportedly came to an agreement Sunday, according to K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune.
Wade reportedly gave up a large chunk of change in order to facilitate the buyout.
The 35-year-old guard reportedly will have a number of suitors now that he is a free agent, with the Cleveland Cavaliers being chief among them, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
While Wade isn’t the player he once was, he still can give a team a lift in limited minutes off the bench. Cleveland’s bench struggled during the Cavs’ loss to the Golden State Warriors in the 2017 NBA Finals, so Wade’s presence could give them a much-needed burst off the bench.
