Cavaliers deal guard Dwyane Wade back to Heat
Dwyane Wade has said he would like to end his career where he started it -- with the Miami Heat. He will get his chance.
As part of a massive team makeover, the Cleveland Cavaliers traded Wade to the Heat before Thursday's 3 p.m. ET trade deadline, sources said. The Cavaliers get a heavily protected second-round pick in the deal.
LeBron James endorsed the trade on Instagram on Thursday, saying he was happy for Wade.
Wade signed with the Cavs in September after working out a buyout with the Chicago Bulls. He spent last season with Chicago after 13 seasons and three championships with Miami.
Wade was averaging a career-low 11.2 points per game this season, coming off the bench in 43 of 46 contests.
Wade, 36, is the Heat's all-time leader in several categories, including points (20,221), assists (3,933), steals (1,414) and games (855).
He has said he wanted to one day retire with Miami.
