Dwyane Wade Leaves The Miami Heat: It Is The Perfect Time for Him And The Heat To End Their Partnership
Even though Dwyane Wade has been and will continue to be one of the best players in Miami Heat franchise history it was the perfect time for him and the Heat to end their partnership. This is because Wade was unintentionally preventing the Miami Heat from reaching their full potential on offense as the team needs to run a similar offense like they ran when LeBron James was on the team. Where Goran Dragic would have the paint relatively empty so that he is able to put pressure on the defense to make a decision on whether they will double-team him or not. If the defense double teams Goran Dragic will most likely pass it to a teammate who is cutting to the basket or the perimeter for an open shot. If they do not he will shoot a jumper or drive depending on whether the defense sags off or plays close to him. But this type of offense was unlikely to be displayed on a consistent basis because Dragic wanted to be a good teammate and allow Wade to play his game to avoid potential conflict with the superstar of the team.
As a result of this, the Miami Heat were running an offense where Dragic will most of the time bring the ball up to the three-point line and passing the ball to Dwyane Wade or other teammates so they can create their own shot as well as facilitate for the rest of the team while Dragic stands in a spot behind three-point line waiting for an opportunity to shoot. This led to the rest of the starters taking a bunch of mid-range jump shots because they don’t have the speed to constantly get by their defender and when they decide to attack the basket they either take a contested shot or pass it back out. This type of offense prevented the team making a deep playoff run since opposing defenses won't have to worry about constantly rotating to the open man because they know that the Heat starters don’t have the speed to constantly get by their defender which allows them to mostly to play man to man.
Therefore wade and the Miami Heat made the right decision to end their partnership because it allows Dragic to have total control of the offense without having to worry about potential conflict while at the same time allowing Wade to get the financial compensation he wants with the Chicago Bulls.
