Metro Manila (CNN Philippines) — Will we see Dwyane Wade in a Laker uniform next season?
According to a report by Chris Mannix of Sports Illustrated, Wade and the Los Angeles Lakers have “mutual interest.”
Wade, who is currently in a contract dispute with the Heat, has the right to opt out of his current deal with Miami and if he decides to exercise that option, he is due to make $16.1 million next season.
The Lakers, who is known to have plenty of cap room, is expected to make splashes in free agency and signing Wade is a move they can consider.

While many execs still see Wade/Heat as contract saber rattling, a Wade option will be the Lakers. Mutual interest, per league sources.

“While many execs still see Wade/Heat as contract saber rattling, a Wade option will be the Lakers. Mutual interest, per league sources,” Mannix said in a tweet.
He also added that it would be “hard to see L.A. offering Wade a better chance to win than Miami, especially in the West. But it is L.A., and they do have money to burn.”
The 33-year-old Wade has spent his entire 12-year career with the Heat.
