Wade is back in Miami

This was arguably the most shocking trade that transpired today. Who would’ve thought that the Cleveland Cavaliers and Miami Heat would see eye-to-eye on trade deadline day and strike a deal centered around Dwyane Wade.

No matter how head-scratching this deal might be on paper, Wade is back where he belongs and there’s nothing really to complain about here. The Heat didn’t make the big move that many in their fan base wanted them to make, but no one will remember this day other than the moment when Wade returned.

Wade should’ve never left Miami, and things were corrected today. It’s almost like everything in the world is right agin.
