It’s an interesting and unexpected move. Apparently, he was not bluffing. Pairing Wade, who turns 35 in January, with Jimmy Butler, Robin Lopez, and Rajon Rondo gives the Bulls a team that…won’t give the Cavs a serious challenge in the East. So much for the Bulls’ promise to get “younger and more athletic.”
Unless a Russell Westbrook move is in the offing, Pat Riley and the Miami Heat have entered the “Hassan Whiteside era.”
