Fresh off a new contract with the Miami Heat, Dwyane Wade took time to answer questions from fans on Twitter on Monday.
Many questions were sent Wade's way in the session that lasted roughly 40 minutes. Among the subjects were money and of course, LeBron James. Wade replied in a lighthearted, and at times brutally honest manner.

Some other questions pertained to Wade's teammates and his thoughts on the upcoming Heat season.

Wade is currently vacationing and took the short break to interact with Heat fans who recently received good news about the All-Star. When free agency opened last week, Miami and Wade worked quickly to secure a new contract. While the deal can't be officially announced until Wednesday, Wade himself released a statement the day it was reported.
"I look forward to continuing our journey. I am extremely proud of my personal contributions in helping to build the HEAT franchise and for bringing three NBA championship wins to our great city," Wade said in the statement.
While that reported new deal is only for one year, this does not mean Wade's career is winding down. Wade in fact answered a question on Monday in reference to his remaining time in the NBA.
When I can no longer play..averaging 20 plus a game at 33 yrs old.. I think I'll stay around for alil while.. https://t.co/jZQblxjKAU — DWade (@DwyaneWade) July 6, 2015
Miami's season is still months from getting underway, but excitement is building with a team that is expected to contend.
