If Dwyane Wade isn't in a Miami Heat jersey next season, we'll know something has gone horribly wrong.
Perhaps it'll mean he's been conscripted into service as a fighter pilot against an alien invasion. Or maybe NBA basketball will cease to exist following a post-apocalyptic societal collapse.
Far-fetched as those scenarios may seem, they still feel more plausible than Wade, the truest Heat lifer in existence, wearing another team's colors in 2015-16.
Wade is home. He has been since 2003, when South Florida became his town, AmericanAirlines Arena became his house and Heat fans, even a man named [Dan] Marino, became his fans.
