NBA Rumors: Dwyane Wade’s Free Agency Being Taken Seriously Across NBA
Hassan Whiteside announced Friday that he’s re-signing with the Heat. Now, Miami’s attention must shift to its biggest star, as there’s an interesting situation brewing with Dwyane Wade.
Wade’s initial contract talks with the Heat reportedly haven’t gone well, causing the 34-year-old to at least consider other offers in free agency. Aware of this contract impasse, other NBA teams are ramping up their efforts to pry Wade away from the organization that drafted him in 2003, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports’ The Vertical.

Who knows whether D-Wade actually is considering a move or if it’s all a bluff designed to land a more desirable contract with the Heat. The 12-time All-Star guard’s free agency is becoming more and more intriguing, though, as it’s crazy to think of Wade playing elsewhere after 13 seasons in Miami.
Wade averaged 19 points, 4.1 rebounds and 4.6 assists while playing a career-low 30.5 minutes per game this past season. He’s not the superstar he once was, but he’s still a very good player who has been the face of the Heat for well over a decade.
