Dwyane Wade will be reeling in a lot of interested teams in the offseason which could spell trouble for the Miami Heat.
The Heat no longer have a strong grip on Wade, especially after the long-time Miami Heat bared his intentions to listen to other teams and see what he can get. Wade has a player option in his current contract and apparently the Flash has decided to opt out which would guarantee him $16 million in the coming season.
With that said, has Wade given up hope on Pat Riley and Erik Spoelstra as far as building another championship team is concerned?
The Heat fell badly when Lebron James left for Cleveland. While the team did try to pull out some deals to make up for Lebron's loss, the moves were apparently futile. The Heat missed the NBA playoffs and Wade seems to be not happy.
Of course, Wade did spend a great deal of the past season on the injury list though that could be attributed to the fact that he had to push himself to help the ballclub be in a formidable position. That move apparently failed.
So if Wade has lost confidence on the Heat ever getting back at the top, can he find that elsewhere?
Teams like the Los Angeles Clippers could be a wise destination. The teams has the tools to make use of Wade but it could mean another round of pay cuts for the All Star guard.
However, getting a crack at the NBA title is doable, something that Wade could be thinking considering he is not getting any younger and may be in the twilight of his career.
If he is looking at security, the Heat and a couple of other teams could offer that. The Lakers, Celtics and Knicks have the salary cap space to offer but not a clear path towards an NBA title.
Wade will be looking for security and a winning team, two things that could be hard to satisfy at this point. The Heat had that before but Wade ended up taking a big paycheck cut.
Worse, the team was no longer the same super team it was with James gone. And hence, it would be safe to say that he has lost faith and could be looking for a team that can satisfy both his wants – money and NBA ring/s.
