Some of the local sports talk guys had worked themselves into a lather thinking Wade was coming to the Cavs. I didn't buy into it because no feud is worth leaving $17 million per season on the table. Cavs could pay $3 mil and the Heat offered $20 mil. I would have been really upset if we traded Love for a 35 year old two guard with bad knees.

That said, I was pretty shocked to wake up and read Wade signed with Chicago. I thought this was all a preamble to make Riley sweat a little. I get that Wade is from Chicago, but I don't see that he greatly improved his chances of winning another title. Wade must be convinced that Bosh is never going to be the same/be able to overcome the blood issue OR Wade felt slighted by the Heat organization.
