It looks like Dwyane Wade is returning for a 16th NBA season.

According to Brandon "Scoop B" Robinson of Scoop B Radio, the former Finals MVP is about to re-sign with the Miami Heat:

"NBA training camp is 40 days away and this evening I’m told from a reliable NBA source that Dwyane Wade will re-sign with the Miami Heat.

The same league source that it should be coming very very soon especially since Wade’s good friend Udonis Haslem reportedly agreed to return to the Miami Heat for his 16th NBA season, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania."

Scoop B's sources go on to state the following:

“He and Udonis are really really close,” my source told me by phone this evening. “The banana boat crew is definitely here to stay.” “He is going to run out the rest of his career with his buddies,” a retired league veteran told me this evening and spoke on the condition of anonymity. "Miami wouldn’t bring Udonis Haslem to that team if they didn’t know that D-Wade was coming back.”

Haslem re-signed with the Heat on a one-year deal on Thursday. With Haslem and Wade returning, it looks as if the Heat intend to have both players retire in a Heat uniform. Both Haslem and Wade made their debuts with the franchise in 2003 and were members of all three title teams in 2006, 2012 and 2013.

Wade began the 2017-18 season with the Cleveland Cavaliers before being traded back to the Heat at the trade deadline in February. He led the Heat to the playoffs as a key reserve, even posting a couple of 25-plus point performances in the team's first-round series versus the Philadelphia 76ers.

The veteran guard has made it clear that if he plays basketball again, it would only be with the Heat, via Ira Winderman of Sun Sentinel:

"Heat only. If I play the game of basketball this year, it'll be in a Miami uniform," he told media at the event at Disney's Wide World of Sports, with audio of that session provided by the NBA. "If I don't, I'll be living in Miami and somewhere else probably."

Heat president of basketball operations Pat Riley stressed in July that he wants the 36-year-old to return for another season:

“I want Dwyane back as a player, a guy who wants to have the greatest year he’s ever had as a player,” Riley said in July. “If he plays, he’s going to want to do it. We don’t want him back as a placemat holder or someone who’s going to be a veteran in the locker room. Dwyane is a great player, a great talent. He can make a big difference for us.”

Wade averaged 12.0 points in 21 regular season games with the Heat last season and 16.6 points and 3.6 assists during the postseason and shot 44.3 percent from the field and 33.8 percent from three. He holds career averages of 22.5 points, 5.5 assists and 4.7 rebounds per game in 982 career appearances. He's the franchise's leader in win shares, games, minutes played, field goals, free throws, assists, steals and points.
