There was hope that the Wade-James duo could work like they did when they were together on the Miami Heat, but that never happened. Wade was traded to the Miami Heat after 46 games with the Cavaliers and he finished out the rest of his career there.
“They got me out of there faster than a son of a bitch,” Wade said on the 7PM in Brooklyn podcast.
Not only did they trade Wade at that time, but they also traded Isaiah Thomas, Derrick Rose, Jae Crowder, and Iman Shumpert. George Hill, Rodney Hood, Larry Nance Jr., and Jordan Clarkson were the newcomers to the Cavaliers, and they still managed to make it to the NBA Finals, where they were swept by the Golden State Warriors.
On the other hand, after that season with the Heat, Wade announced that he would retire after the 2018-2019 season. Wade and James shared the court again, but it was with different teams, with James joining the Los Angeles Lakers.
With Wade only playing half the season with the Cavaliers, people will barely remember that time, so he won’t have to worry about others talking about it. Still, it was still nice to see Wade and James on the same team one last time, especially after all the success they had with the Heat.
