I know gour feels his pipe dream of Wade is over.
I don't just yet. I never thought it was going to happen, and believe me, I still don't. But this Broussard tweet was interesting.

League execs telling me there is not a robust market for DWade because of his age (33) and injury problems.
If the market is not good for Wade. And Riley gets fed up with Wade, and decides to sign Ellis. Which for all we know, he could actually prefer.
What is Wade going to do then?
This is why opting out was a BAD move on his part. He's lost a lot of leverage, IMO.
Riley has almost all of it now, given Wade's market doesn't seem to be very good, and he could just replace him with a healthier, slightly younger, semi-clone in Ellis.
