Dwyane Wade has no intention of leaving the Miami Heat in free agency. No, you shouldn’t be surprised, even though the rumor mill tried churning out a scare by suggesting the contrary last week. Wade apparently wants to opt out of his current contract and sign a more lucrative deal. The Heat, quite simply, want [...]
Imagine Dwyane Wade wearing another NBA team’s uniform. I know, you can’t. But you have no choice.
