    Dwyane Wade made the decision to sign with the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday, proving that he was not merely trying to leverage the Miami Heat into giving him more money. The relationship between Wade and the team he spent the first 13 years of his career with had gotten so bad, in fact, that he never even spoke to Pat Riley.

    According to a report from Manny Navarro of The Miami Herald, Riley did not call Wade once this offseason as the 34-year-old was trying to come to terms with the Heat. Riley is one of the main reasons Miami has been able to attract so many top free agents over the years, and his relationship with Wade has always been good enough that Wade repeatedly took hometown discounts to help the Heat win.

    Not this time.
