But if she were Wade, she would feel compelled to continue his philanthropy in South Florida.

He called himself a #HeatLifer. Chicago was his first home, and is now his next home. This decision I had to make last night, I mean, I’ve been in Miami for 13 years – 13 incredible years. The signing of Dwayne Wade – while exciting – on top of signing Rajon Rondo shows that not only is GarPax going against their own plan for the offseason, but it shows that they never really had a plan all along. “We call it Heat Nation… and we did some special things together”. While the signing of Wade can be scoffed at not only for his old age, but it also can be ridiculed for his possible fit.
The pack’s title? “Miami and Chicago”.
After those comments were made, the relationship deteriorated – to the point where Wade wanted to leave the only team for which he has played.
Dwyane Wade #3 of the Miami Heat walks off the court following Game Seven of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals against the Toronto Raptors during the 2016 NBA Playoffs at the Air Canada Center on May 15, 2016 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The 3,400-square-foot mesh video screen on the exterior of AmericanAirlines Arena will feature images of Wade, vignettes honoring some of the best moments of his Miami tenure will play and the team will release photo galleries of his career. He was a 12-time All-Star. On the other hand, he’s leaving a almost unmatched legacy in Miami. Wade and Rondo have championships rings, so the pressure should not be a problem for them next year. Thank you for the memories. Heat managing general partner Micky Arison wrote on Twitter. He’s supported us through all the good times and bad times.
It’s a bittersweet ending to an era, which brought dominant feelings of hurt and acceptance for fans across an area that was once affectionately referred to as Wade County. “We even have Heat fans in NY because I heard cheers a year ago [on the show]”.
In actuality, there were hurt feelings on both sides, and understandably. The team did not disclose terms of the contract, but the four-time All-Star has previously told The Undefeated’s Marc J. Spears that he agreed to a two-year contract worth nearly $28 million. And when factoring in tax ramifications, that offer wasn’t too far off from what the Bulls will pay Wade in the next two seasons.

“Of the places that he had options to go to, this was the most interesting to him because he is coming home”. I will never forget it, because there is pretty much nothing funnier than imagining LeBron James getting into an argument about who played the love interest in “The 6th Man” and then refusing to look it up because he’s near his data limit.
