RELATED: The deal this team is offering D-Wade is considerably better than the Heat's
While Wade hasn't found a deal to his liking yet, it's certainly starting to look like he is on his way out of South Beach. There are teams willing to talk a third-year guarantee with him and that plus more money is what he's really looking for in a deal.
Sources on @TheVertical: So far, closest Wade has to a third-year on deal: Chicago w/ a partial guarantee. Denver, Miami offering two years.

If the Miami Heat has any hope of bringing back Dwyane Wade the team will need its secret weapon to sit down with the decade-plus face of the franchise. And surprisingly that does not mean Pat Riley who usually closes the deal for Miami in situations like this.
Perhaps only this stands between Dwyane Wade and his Miami Heat departure: Possible one-on-one meeting with owner Micky Arison today.

However, the Heat still does not have a meeting with the star guard and will have to keep working him just to get a meeting.
For now, there's still no Miami Heat meeting set for Wade today, league sources tell @TheVertical. Still a fluid conversation.

Wade believes he got stiffed on his last few contracts because he took less money than he thought he deserved so that the team could sign other good players to keep them competitive and in the playoffs.
