So What Does Wade Do?

[RJ87]

With Lebron going back to Cleveland and Bosh likely going to Houston, does DWade resign in Miami? And what kind of deal does he get? Sucks he opted out of the $42m, 2 yr deal...

[hpantazo]

With Lebron going back home, and Bosh likely going home to Houston, I can see Wade going to his hometown of Chicago. He almost went there last time before 'the decision'. There's nothing left for him in Miami, and it doesn't make sense for Miami to give Wade a long term contract at this stage.

rot in Miami?

If he doesn't want to play on a 28 win Miami team... maybe instead of leaving Pat high and dry, he engineers a sign-and-trade to the Knicks or something.  So he can join Melo and Pat.

Heat can still tank next season:

Cavs own:  2015 first round draft pick from Miami
Miami's 1st round pick to Cleveland protected for selections 1-10 in 2015 or 1-10 in 2016 or unprotected in 2017 [Cleveland-Miami, 7/9/2010]

or Chicago, his hometown team

[Donoghus]

I recommend start drinking heavily.

[GreenEnvy]

Hopefully retires.

Without a doubt my least favorite player.

Hope he sticks in Miami and his career dwindles down on brutal teams.

I don't even know where those 28 wins are coming from. Granger and McRoberts haven't signed anything. The Heat presently consist of Shabazz Napier and Norris Cole.

It's going to be really interesting to see what the Heat do. They might turn into the next sponge for bad contracts. Maybe they'll help Phil unload Amare

[cman88]

chicago will likely go after him now, and most likely them losing out on melo. could see them going after gasol/wade

[Donoghus]

Heat could struggle to get to the salary floor if Bosh leaves.

Overpay Wade to save face & overpay Stephenson?  Guard heavy (and redundant) lineup?

[Mr October]

I can't wait to hear from Wade and Riley.

Miami is family right? Wade should stay right?    ....and win 30 games.

Chicago unless Miami overpays him.

Miami needs to tank for two years.  Use their own pick for two years before Cleveland gets it in 2017.

Trade Wade to Milwaukee for Mayo and Sanders and a draft pick.  Bucks, Heat, and Wade would all be in a better spot.
