Dwyane Wade did the impossible and signed with Bulls
Rating:
Loading...For Dwyane Wade and the Miami Heat, business got personal. As a result, Wade—an iconic 13-year veteran for whom a Miami exit seemed impossible—agreed to a deal with the Chicago Bulls.
The Heat happily accepted Wade's sacrifices in recent seasons; he took less money to facilitate the construction of the Big Three in 2010 and then renegotiated his contract in 2014, leaving $11 million on the table so the Heat could spend it on others. And then, this year, when Miami prioritized signing Hassan Whiteside and chasing Kevin Durant ahead of compensating Wade with a new offer, well...it seems that was just too much.
Sad as it sounds, this was the shrewd move for Miami. Wade was not a star last year. In the most unfeeling financial terms, he may not be worth the $20 million per year the Heat offered. In fact, there's a decent chance the Heat will outperform Chicago this season, especially if team president Pat Riley puts the club's remaining cap space to good use.
It's hard to view things this way, but the Heat acted rationally. Coldly, but rationally.
