MIAMI -- Dwyane Wade is under contract with the Chicago Bulls, meaning other NBA clubs cannot openly talk about signing him until he is a free agent. As such, Heat president Pat Riley was cautious Friday when asked about Wade's future.

Wade spent his first 13 seasons in Miami before leaving in the summer of 2016 and going to the Bulls, his hometown team. But Chicago appears to be in full rebuilding mode after trading All-Star forward Jimmy Butler -- someone Wade was close with -- to the Minnesota Timberwolves this offseason.
