If NBA free agency wasn't crazy enough—with Kevin Durant signing with the 73-win Golden State Warriors—things really turned up on Monday night when rumors started
flying that Miami Heat free agent Dwyane Wade was on a private jet with LeBron
James and Cavs owner Dan Gilbert. These rumors first originated when Joe Lull,
a Cleveland media member, tweeted out a link to a flight tracker page, which
showed a private jet route from Fort Lauderdale to Cleveland. If you don't
remember, Lull is the same man that first broke the news that Dan Gilbert had flown
down to Miami to meet with LeBron in 2014, which brought Cavs Twitter to bring out
the very same flight tracker.
Well, the craziness took over once
again, and really became interesting when the Luxury Jets Group twitter account
tweeted "Happy 4th CavsDan KingJames Dwyane Wade. Enjoy." Does this
mean Wade actually took a trip to Cleveland with his old teammate LeBron and
Gilbert? Who knows, but after a little digging, the Luxury Jets Group website shows the
very same plane listed in their fleet that was featured on the flight tracker
route. Of course, this could all be a coincidence, but with NBA free agency you
just never know.
Even with the rumors, it seems doubtful that Wade would leave Miami for Cleveland, especially since they don't have the room to pay the veteran shooting guard what he wants, which is apparently at least $20 million per season. However, this doesn't mean that Wade won't consider other options, and as TNT's David Aldridge pointed out, Wade is on track to meet with the Milwaukee Bucks later this week. At the same time, there are also some cryptic tweets coming out of Miami, notably from Heat beat writer Tim Reynolds.
Making this whole thing more complicated is the fact that Wade was spotted in Spain earlier today via his own Snapchat, which makes it hard to believe that he would be in Cleveland so soon. Again though, with NBA free agency, you just never know. With the Warriors now reloaded, it looks like the rest of the NBA is really going all out.
