Dwyane Wade and the Los Angeles Lakers have “mutual interest,” according to Sports Illustrated’s Chris Mannix.
While many execs still see Wade/Heat as contract saber rattling, a Wade option will be the Lakers. Mutual interest, per league sources.

The Miami Herald’s BarryJacksonpreviously reported that the Lakers were an option for Wade. The Lakers are rumored to be interested in many free agents, including LaMarcus Aldridge and Kevin Love, and Wade is in the wheel house. Los Angeles presents an interesting opportunity for Wade, who can benefit from the entertainment and fashion scene and is married to Hollywood actress Gabrielle Union.
