Doing nothing to diffuse speculation that he would like a buyout from the Chicago Bulls, former Heat guard Dwyane Wade said he would like to play for a championship contender before his career is over.
Wade is under contract to the Bulls at $24 million this coming season but reportedly isn’t eager to play there because the Bulls are rebuilding after trading his close friend, Jimmy Butler, to Minnesota.
ESPN reported recently that LeBron James’ associates believe Wade will sign with Cleveland if he reaches a buyout with the Bulls. A Wade associate told me last week that Miami and Los Angeles also would hold appeal to him.
