24. Dwyane Wade, Unrestricted

Stats: 11.4 ppg, 3.4 apg

Even at an advanced age, Dwyane Wade proved to be extremely valuable to a team like the Miami Heat. Without him on the roster, the Heat would’ve gotten swept by the Philadelphia 76ers in the NBA Playoffs. He won a game by himself.

Wade likely would’ve given the Cavaliers some scoring punch that they desperately needed during the playoffs, and in the NBA Finals.

Wade likely isn’t going to leave the Heat for a second time, so if he returns this upcoming season it will be in Miami.
