Dwyane Wade lifted Heat – and changed South Florida sports: There’s a photograph fixed to a wall by an AmericanAirlines Arena staircase, blown up to life size. “I get an opportunity to live that dream out now”. Bakhai pointed out that IL has a 3.75 percent personal income tax. Wade is also in talks with the Chicago Bulls.

So if Wade keeps his off-season residence in Miami, he can avoid IL state tax on his national sponsorship income, Bakhai.
Dwyane Wade had spent all 13 seasons of his National Basketball Association career with the Heat before agreeing to sign with the Bulls. Two years ago, Chris Bosh signed a max deal for $115 million. Coach Fred Hoiberg’s freewheeling offense will now get Wade and Rondo, who is three years older than Rose.
While the Heat has lined up “a series of activities” meant to recognize the future Hall of Famer’s contributions (three championships, five trips to the Finals), all team stores will be selling Wade merchandise at $13 a pop. “And at the same time, we want to be able to compete and put as good a team as we can out there on the floor”.
Wade’s move brings down the curtain on 13 seasons with the Heat, where he was an integral part of three championship-winning teams, two of them with LeBron James as his team mate. Hey, with Wade we might be better than you think and actualy make some noise in the East this season, so come on out and fill the stadium and watch all the games on TV. Meanwhile Bulls Jose Calderon is being traded to Los Angeles Lakers. “I was more nervous about this than I was about everything that happened last night”, Wade continued.
Wade made the appearance in NY.
This past season he played a career low 30.5 minutes a game and averaged 19.0 points per game, which equalled his lowest total since his rookie season in 2003-04. He’s even second in blocked shots, perhaps the most impressive stat of all considering Wade is listed at 6-foot-4 – which is generous.
Wade’s departure leaves a hole in the heart of the Heat franchise.
“Miami-Dade County to me.will always be Wade County!” In a note to the Associated Press, Wade wrote, “I look back with pride and amazement at all that we accomplished”.
“It’s still surreal and I’m still numb”, Wade said.
The Heat have three days from Thursday’s receipt of the offer sheet to decide whether to match the terms of the four-year, $50 million contract or allow Johnson to join the Nets without compensation.
