Once Jimmy Butler was traded to Minnesota, it was only a matter of time.
On Sunday, Marquette Golden Eagles legend Dwyane Wade confirmed to the Chicago Tribune that he had negotiated a buyout with the Chicago Bulls. The termination of the contract via buyout makes Wade a free agent just nine days before Chicago was set to begin their preseason exhibition game schedule.
Wade signed with the Bulls in the summer of 2016 in a slight bit of a surprise. He had spent the first 13 years of his career with the Miami Heat after being draft by that club in 2003.
