Miami Heat icon and surefire Hall of Famer Dwyane Wade already has a plan once the 2019-20 season starts: workout with Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James before every game.
In an interview with Arash Markazi of the Los Angeles Times, Wade said that he has no plan to come out of retirement (at least not yet). However, he emphasized that he will try to be involved in the NBA as much as he can — which includes joining LeBron James' workouts at the Lakers' training facility and at Staples Center.
“You're definitely going to see me out there. I'll be there early to work out with LeBron before the game starts. I just want to stay around it and be as involved as I can,” Wade said.
LeBron will spearhead the Lakers' title quest next season. While the four-time MVP has shown signs of decline last season, he was still able to average 27-8-8 per game and make it to the All-NBA third team.
Working out with Wade could help James moving forward. Even though the former is already retired, Wade has expressed his desire to stay in game shape.
LeBron and D-Wade have shared a significant amount of success together, as they have led the Miami Heat to two NBA titles in 2012 and 2013. Although there were rumors that they could reunite with the Lakers, Wade has already said that it's not going to happen and that he'll just remain in the scenes to help his fellow banana boat crew member.
James has been promoting the upcoming 2019-20 season as his comeback year after missing the playoffs last season for the first time since 2005. Even the media have decided to ride the hype by saying that LeBron will have a revenge year. Whether he can make it happen remains to be seen, but with Wade giving the assist just like the old days, anything is possible.
