Dwyane Wade in contract discussions with Knicks, Bucks
Unrestricted free agent guard Dwyane Wade is in contract talks with the New York Knicks and Milwaukee Bucks, and could schedule meetings next week, according to Brian Windhorst of ESPN.
Likely his last opportunity to command a big deal on the open market, Wade is opposed to the idea of taking a pay cut to stay with the Miami Heat. With the Knicks, he would provide some much needed help at shooting guard, although there would be many mouths to feed. In Milwaukee, the Marquette alum and Chicago native would be returning to an area he's familiar with, although it wouldn't address the Bucks need for help beyond the arc. Stay tuned.
The 34-year-old Wade ranked 87th in the league with a -0.7 nERD this season, averaging 19.0 points, 4.1 rebounds and 4.6 assists in a career-low 30.5 minutes per game, while posting a .459 effective field goal percentage.
