(NEW YORK) — The Big 3 just might be sticking together after all. According to reports, guard Dwyane Wade and forward Udonis Haslem have opted out of their contracts and will become free agents.
On the surface, this might spell gloom and doom for Heat fans, but these moves could allow the team re-sign Lebron James, Chris Bosh, Wade, and possibly another high-level free agent.
Haslem is likely to re-sign with with the Heat, but on a more team-friendly deal. He was due to make $4.62 million next season.
The 34-year-old Haslem has spent his entire 11-year career, and has won three championships during his tenure in South Beach.
Wade is also a career member of the Heat organization. He’s been with the team since they drafted him sixth overall back in 2003, the same year they selected Haslem.
