Dwyane Wade is joining the Bulls on a 2-year contract

Unfortunately, the signing makes no sense whatsoever in conjunction with the other moves Chicago made this offseason, most notably adding Rajon Rondo to replace Derrick Rose. The on-court fit with the players already on the roster is a disaster. Wade’s game doesn’t fit within the system coach Fred Hoiberg wants to install.

Despite adding a future Hall of Famer, the Bulls could realistically be worse next season.

Dwyane Wade is going home and spurning his adopted home in the process. After playing his entire career in Miami, Wade has agreed to a deal with the Chicago Bulls, according to Yahoo! Sports’ Adrian Wojnarowski. The deal is confirmed.

Wade will sign a two-year, $47.5 million deal with Chicago, according to CSN Chicago’s Vincent Goodwill, with a player option for the second year (via Wojnarowski). No team offered Wade a fully guaranteed third year, according to Wojnarowski.

Dunleavy missed most of the 2015-16 season due to injury, appearing in only 31 games. He averaged 7.2 points, 1.3 assists and 2.7 rebounds per game as Chicago missed the playoffs. He was still an efficient shooter, though, hitting nearly 40 percent of his attempts from three-point range. He brings range, experience, basketball IQ and length, so while Dunleavy isn’t quite the player he once was, it’s not surprising the Cavaliers identified him as a target.

For the Bulls, this deal is all about Wade, who becomes the centerpiece of the team’s offseason after deciding to leave South Beach. His move back to his hometown in Chicago is unexpected but gives the team a chance to make some noise next season. While it means trading Dunleavy and Calderon, the benefit of adding Wade is a no-brainer, and not just from a marketing perspective.

The Wade-to-Cleveland scenario is further complicated by the fact that the Cavaliers can only offer the mini mid-level exception worth $3.48 million in the first season. The Cavaliers could theoretically dump a bunch of salary and/or LeBron James could take a massive pay cut on his next deal in order to make more room for his pal, but these are all longshot possibilities at the moment. That’s why Cleveland is a very remote possibility at this point.

The likely outcome here still is Wade returning to the Heat, but this appears to be a more tenuous situation than last summer when there was a contract standoff. If he sticks to his contract demands, Miami will likely have to create more cap space to fit him in. Will the Heat actually do that, or will they risk losing their franchise icon?
