Dwyane Wade’s 46-game stint with the Cavaliers isn’t something NBA fans really like to think about. In what was, arguably, the most forgettable stretch of his career, Wade was traded before getting the chance to finish even a single season with the team.
Interestingly enough, there’s a new “D-Wade” in Cleveland (24-year-old Dean), and the NBA legend took it as an opportunity to wish him better fortunes in the city than he had.

Wade went to the Cavs in 2017 to reunite with his former teammate, and friend, LeBron James. The idea was that their chemistry and leadership would be enough to earn them another title in wake of Kyrie Irving’s departure.
Instead, it led to drama and disappointment, which many fans have already pushed out of their mind.
D-Wade never played for the Cavs!

Needless to say, Wade’s tenure with the Cavs isn’t a fan favorite. But it’s good to see Wade himself willing to joke about it…
