Erik Spoelstra on Dwyane Wade: I still see ‘a force of nature’

Dwyane Wade’s best basketball days are in the past, but Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra still believes the 11-time All-Star will have a big impact on the 2015-16 team—especially when it matters the most.

According to Manny Navarro of The Miami Herald, Spoelstra said he has a plan to maximize Wade’s abilities while remaining cognizant of his limitations.

“This is not about a decreased role or minimizing him in any way shape or form. Players adjust and adapt as they get further on in their career. I think he’s been an absolute genius with that reconstruction and additions of his game.
