“I don’t sit on my hands,” (Dwyane) Wade said in an end-of-season interview with The Associated Press. “Obviously, everything’s about life after (basketball) and seeing what you want to do as well. So this is a perfect time to figure it out.”
Wade has the option of becoming a free agent again this summer; the expectation is that he will forgo a deal worth about $16 million for next season and work on a longer-term deal with the Heat. But no decision has to be made until late June, and Wade — who averaged 21.5 points on 47 percent shooting this season — is in no rush.
“I signed my deal the way I did for a reason … and the organization did it for a reason,” Wade said. “It’s my option. I’ll decide when the time is right. Everyone knows I always try to do what’s best for the organization, but I also have to do what’s best for Dwyane Wade as well.”
