Have we seen the last of DWade in South Beach? It seems crazy to believe, but it appears as if Dwyane Wade is angry with the Miami Heat.
This isn’t the first we’ve heard of such, but Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports that Wade is none too pleased with the only basketball franchise he’s ever known.
What does that mean moving forward? Nobody really knows, though the fact Wade refused to discuss his contractual situation with the Miami Heat during an appearance in the NBA Finals pregame show does seem to speak volumes.
The Heat might find a more durable player than Wade in free agency but won’t find one nearly as good as Dwyane Wade, who was 11th in scoring at 21.5 this season.
That’s why I don’t buy the argument, espoused by a local radio host, that the Heat has Wade over a barrel. Yes, there are no assurances that anyone would offer Wade more than what the Heat ultimately offers. But there will be solid offers for the best guard available in free agency.
And Wade is under no obligation to take the highest offer. In fact, he could consider joining a top contender for less than Miami’s offer if he continues to feel the Heat isn’t treating him fairly. A friend has described Wade as upset with the Heat’s position and that he wants to feel like a priority.
It’s been stated teams like the LA Lakers and Clippers along with the Chicago Bulls could have interest in Dwyane Wade if he is to become a free agent.
