No one knew what the future held for Dwyane Wade when he earlier this week exercised his player option with the Miami Heat, passing up a $16.1 million salary for next season. Some suspected that his time with the only NBA team he has ever played for in his 12-year, Hall of Fame-caliber career, but reports indicated later in the week that the Heat and D-Wade were working toward a resolution that would keep him in South Beach for the foreseeable future.
And those rumors proved accurate when news broke Thursday that Wade and the Heat had come to terms on a one-year, $20 million deal.
