Basketball-wise, none of those situations are definitively more attractive than staying with the Heat.
“PayWade.com is led by a group of loyal Miami Heat fans who are embarrassed by the low-ball offers and continuous discounts the team continues to ask of Dwyane Wade“. That might be the only encouraging aspect of this plot twist for the Heat, who are scheduled to meet with Kevin Durant on Sunday.
Instead, all indications seem to be that Miami has found a way to retain young center Hassan Whiteside on a max contract.

Since the start of Free Agency, other teams have been showing interest in Dwyane Wade, and taking it more serious. Riley said Wade, the pillar of Miami’s successful run since he was drafted in 2003, is still coveted by the Heat. “If Dallas does get Whiteside, it would be an extremely interesting partnership”.

The meetings with Whiteside and his representatives are scheduled in NY. If he were to come to LA, he would become the centerpiece right next to Ingram, Randle, Clarkson, and Russell.
