The chatter during the offseason in Chicago (besides the whole team being broken up and Jimmy Butler being traded) has been about Dwyane Wade and how long it would take for the Chicago Bulls to buy him out so he can move on to greener pastures.
The day has come and he’s headed on a one-way ticket to Cleveland.
Dwyane Wade plans to sign with Cleveland once he clears waivers on Wednesday, league sources tell ESPN.

Next season, he will be reuniting with LeBron James after the two won multiple championships with the Miami Heat. The two will now try to make a run next season and derail the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference, as well as the Golden State Warriors, who are still a favorite to reach the NBA Finals.
Wade County has agreed to a 1-year contract worth a reported $2.3 million dollars, after reaching a buyout with the Bulls. He gave up roughly $8 million to leave the organization and have a chance to join a championship contending team.
