It's Done: Dwyane Wade Makes it Official, Signs With Cleveland Cavaliers

Wade joins former Miami Heat teammate LeBron James in Cleveland

Dwyane Wade says he is heading to the Cleveland Cavaliers and that LeBron James is a big reason why.

Wade made it official on Wednesday, saying he picked the Cavaliers for a one-year, $2.3 million deal. It was finalized shortly after Wade cleared waivers, a necessary step following his buyout agreement struck with the Chicago Bulls over the weekend.

Wade says Cleveland "believes in my talents and what I can bring to a championship contender both as a player and leader."

Wade and James spent four seasons together with the Miami Heat, winning two championships and making the Finals four times as a duo as devastating as any in league history.
