After 13 seasons and three NBA championships, Wade has decided to leave the Miami Heat and join the Chicago Bulls.
According to usatoday.com, “D-Wade” signed a 2-year, $47.5 Million deal.
Wade, who was born in Chicago and grew up in nearby suburbs, had sacrificed financially before when the Heat formed the Big 3 of Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh, and in 2014, when he opted out of his contract and left money on the table the summer James returned to Cleveland.
Wade joins a Bulls team that includes Rajon Rondo, Jimmy Butler, Robin Lopez, Nikola Mirotic, Doug McDermott, Bobby Portis, and 2016 first-round draft pick, rookie Denzel Valentine.
To create cap space to sign Wade, the Bulls plan to send guard Jose Calderon to the Los Angeles Lakers and send guard-forward Mike Dunleavy to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Wade is a 12-time All-Star and was first-team All-NBA in 2008-09 and 2009-10. He is the franchise’s all-time leader in points, steals, assists, games, minutes, field goals, and free throws.
