Wade Stays With Miami – NBA Roundup

UNDATED (AP) — The Miami Heat have managed to keep two-thirds of their "Big 3."

All-Star guard Dwyane (dwayn) Wade is staying with the team, saying he has confidence in the organization and the roster being built. The comments come days after LeBron James left the Heat after four seasons to rejoin the Cleveland Cavaliers.

A person familiar with the situation says Wade signed a two-year package that includes a player option for the second season. Financial terms were not announced, though it's expected Wade's salary for next season will not reach the $20.2 million he would have made under his previous contract.

Chris Bosh also decided to stay in Miami. Joining the Heat is Luol Deng (LOO'-ul dehng), who signed a $20 million, two-year contract. Deng is expected to compete for the starting spot vacated by James.
