Former Miami Heat superstar Dwyane Wade took to Twitter and reacted to Wednesday night's biggest trade news. The highlight, of course, was Miami's acquisition of 2015 NBA Finals MVP Andre Iguodala. Wade noted the move as a “great pickup.”

ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported that Iguodala will sign a two-year, $30 million extension as part of the deal. Additionally, Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium noted that the Heat holds a team option for the 2021-22 season.
Consequently, the Memphis Grizzlies acquired 2015 first-round pick Justise Winslow. In response to this, Wade added:




Justise time in Miami was needed as a young player in our game now he can go off and apply what he learned to the next chapter. Excited for my Rook1
The Golden State Warriors recently traded the swingman to the Memphis Grizzlies after six years and three championships with the team. He was owed $17.2 million for his contract's final year, but never played a game for Memphis.
His refusal to suit up for the Grizzlies has recently been the subject of controversy. Rookie of the Year leading contender Ja Morant notably took shots at the veteran during the past few days, with former teammate Stephen Curry seemingly defending him. Since the reported move to Miami, however, the Memphis point guard expressed contentment with the saga ending.
The three-time NBA champion will be joining a surprise legitimate contender in the Eastern Conference. Iguodala, now 36 years old, will likely bolster the team's rotation instead of playing extended minutes, and provide valuable defensive presence.
