5 Dream Targets For New York Knicks In 2017 NBA Free Agency

Dwyane Wade, SG, Chicago Bulls

Right now, the future seems so uncertain for Dwyane Wade. He spurned the Miami Heat last offseason to join his hometown Bulls, and that went terribly. They barely made the playoffs amidst inner turmoil, likely souring the veteran shooting guard on his decision.

So will he jump ship after only one season? Or will Wade decide to give it another go-around in the Windy City in hopes of things turning around in 2017-18? It’s anyone’s guess what will happen. However, in this scenario, I’m predicting he’ll take the opportunity to test his value on the open market for the second year in a row.

We all know playing in big markets is a big deal for Wade. It just so happens New York is the biggest market in the United States, providing its sports stars with endless opportunities to boost their own brands. Obviously that seems like an ideal situation for Wade to be in if he decides Chicago isn’t a fit.

Assuming dreams come true, I’m saying Wade will heavily consider joining the Knicks. They need more scoring with Carmelo likely gone, and he fits the bill as a dynamic difference maker on the wing. He can push Courtney Lee into a combo guard role off the bench, which isn’t a terrible thing either.
