After finding out that Dwyane Wade has reached a buyout agreement with the Chicago Bulls, there were players who started to recruit him to their teams, and made it known that he is welcome to join them. However, the 12-time All-Star and former Finals MVP decided to take his talents to Northeast Ohio to reunite with his good friend, LeBron James, and play for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
When former Miami Heat teammate Udonis Haslem was asked to give his reaction to the latest development on Wade's career, he came up with a hilarious response about using three of his fouls on him, including a flagrant — obviously in jest. He then cleared out the air that it won't affect their friendship, and that they will continue to be brothers regardless of which team Wade plays for.
“I’m gonna put my special request in for some minutes in that game,” Haslem joked. “I’ll definitely have five fouls, or six — how many fouls do you get before you foul out? Probably three fouls on each (James and Wade) and a flagrant for Dwyane.”

The Miami Heat captain and Wade were both drafted by the South Beach team back in 2003, and won three titles together. They are known to have a strong bond, and consider each other as brothers on and off the court. It would've been ideal for Haslem if Wade decided to go back to the Heat, but the team has a multitude of guards, and it's difficult to see the shooting guard out of Marquette to play a significant role for them.
Should he complete his signing with the Cavs on Wednesday once he clears waivers, it will be his third team in the last three years. Despite being 35 years old now, Dwyane Wade can still play against some of the best young guards in the league today, and could be a key piece to the Cavaliers' quest to win another title.
