MIAMI — Dwyane Wade is going to Chicago.
Relax, Heat fans — the trip is just to start thinking in earnest about his future.
After settling four court cases Tuesday and calling it a “huge relief” to have some of his many legal issues settled, Wade said he finally can afford a bit of time for himself.
So today, he will be back home in Chicago, for both a reunion with his two young sons and to start thinking about what awaits when the NBA free agency window opens July 1.
Wade said he will start thinking of a “wish list” of players he’d like the Heat to consider signing. He has said he and Cleveland’s LeBron James would play well together, and it’s nearly a lock the Heat will take a run at trying to woo James.
Wade said he hasn’t called any other potential free agents yet. He will, and soon.
Settled Tuesday were suits related to a $25 million breach-of-contract claim over a failed restaurant venture, as well as another dispute over an agreement to license his name for a charter school and an antitrust suit over potential sales of Wade memorabilia. In Chicago, he still has divorce and custody cases pending.
