“In the hopes of pursuing a fourth championship, I’ve reached a deal with the Chicago Bulls and I am excited to share that I will be joining the Cleveland Cavaliers this season,” wrote Dwayne Wade, announcing the next destination of his career.
Wade is reuniting with Lebron James after spending four years together in the Miami Heat and winning the back-to-back titles of 2012 and 2013.
James himself is thrilled to once again share locker rooms with his good friend Dwyane.
“It’s a guy — come on, man — this is like one of my best friends. It’s kind of like when you start school and you walk into the classroom and you’re not quite sure who your classmates are and when you walk in there and one of your best friends is in there, you’re like, ‘Oh, yeah, this is going to be fun. It’s going to be a good class.’ That’s the type of feeling I got,” Lebron said, per ESPN.
Cleveland officially announced the signing via GM Koby Altman:
“We’re extremely happy that Dwyane chose to join us in Cleveland and become a core part of helping us achieve success at the highest level,” said Altman. “Dwyane has proven time and time again that he is a leader and competitor of the highest caliber and that his focus is centered on the ultimate goal. The deep commitment and consistency that he has shown to the game as a 12-time NBA All-Star and three-time NBA Champion is remarkable and he’s going to be a difference maker on the court and in the locker room with our team.”
As reported by Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, the “Flash” signed a one-year, $2.3 million contract with the Cavaliers.
