Since news about Dwyane Wade reaching a buyout with the Chicago Bulls was reported, the sweepstakes for his services immediately started. A number of teams have emerged as favorites to sign him, as they see him as an important piece to their championship aspirations.

The San Antonio Spurs, Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat, and Oklahoma City Thunder are all believed to be favorites for his next destination. However, at this stage of the offseason, most of the salary cap has been exhausted, and two of the four aforementioned teams can only offer him the veteran's minimum.

Although the Heat can pay him more, money won't be the only thing the 12-time All-Star will consider in his decision. His fit, and the chance to win his fourth ring will also factor in, especially being a veteran who is entering his 15th season in the NBA.

Dwyane Wade's situation is definitely something worth keeping an eye on, and it will be very interesting to find out which jersey he will don next. The team he'll play for next may still be up in the air, but if there's anything certain at this point, he will need to make a decision soon, as most training camps will be starting in the next few days.
