Fantasy Impact:

Wade's $16 million salary next season gives Miami some financial flexibility to entice Gran Dragic to stay. Wade had a fine season with averages of 21.5 points on 47.0 percent shooting and 76.8 percent free throw shooting, 4.8 assists 1.2 steals and 3.4 turnovers per game. The only problem with Wade this season was that he only played 62 games. Considering his knee problems, he'll be hard pressed to play at least 65 games in another NBA season as a high-usage starter for the rest of his career. He'll likely out perform his ADP next season, but his penchant for missing lots of games means his disadvantages outweigh his advantages from a fantasy perspective.
