Wade won NBA titles with the Heat in 2006, 20 and had spent his entire career with the team after being drafted No. The Chicago Bulls agreed to sign Dwyane Wade, a 12-time All-Star who won three titles during his 13-year tenure in Miami, to a two-year contract worth $47.5 million with a player option on the second season. Erik Spoelsta will embark on the post-Wade era in earnest, hoping to get big production from new max man Hassan Whiteside, who put up five double-doubles against the Hornets in the playoffs. Michael Jordan should feel pretty good about this opening week rematch: the Hornets re-signed starters Nicolas Batum and Marvin Williams in free agency, while the Heat bungled their negotiations with Wade and lost him to the Bulls. 28: Hornets at HeatĬharlotte came oh–so close to advancing in the East playoffs, only to fall in seven games to Miami thanks to Dwyane Wade’s heroics. Damian Lillard and the Blazers, supplemented by the additions of Evan Turner and Festus Ezeli, will look to prove their 2015–16 success was no fluke. This one will have a “return to the scene of the crime” feel to it, as both Chris Paul and Blake Griffin suffered season-ending injuries during a Game 4 loss in the Moda Center. In the back-end of the TNT Thursday doubleheader, the Clippers will get their first shot at the Blazers since being upset in last year’s first round.
