Earlier today it was reported that Cavs guard Dwyane Wade was returning to the Miami Heat in a shocking trade executed between the Miami and Cleveland this afternoon
Via The Miami Herald
The Heat acquired Wade in exchange in a trade with the Cleveland Cavaliers for a heavily protected future second-round pick.
Whereas the Cavaliers were looking to get younger and more athletic, the Heat had three reasons to trade for Wade:
The price to get him was modest — a second round pick. He’s making only the $2.3 million league minimum, less than $1.1 million prorated for the remainder of the season.
According to a source, the Heat wanted to end things the right way with Wade after he left the franchise in a contract dispute in the summer of 2016.
Just a few hours after the news made the rounds, the Miami Heat put up Dwyane Wade’s “Vice” city jersey up for sale in their store.
Good things come to those who wait… @MiamiHEAT VICE Jerseys have made a #R3TURN! You can NOW reserve limited quantities, hurry!https://t.co/lFHcJKmqwh pic.twitter.com/SqQYPOqm8N
