Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade wouldn't rule out the possibility of the Big 3 - himself, LeBron James and Chris Bosh - splitting up after the season. All three have opt-out clauses in their contract, and Wade acknowledged they would sit down together to discuss their futures in Miami.
With the repeater tax set to go into effect this summer, there's a chance at least one of Miami's Big 3 leaves South Beach. Although a conversation between the three hasn't yet taken place, Wade admitted it's something that will soon happen.
"I'm at a place where I don't really have to worry about it," Wade told ESPN. "I've been with the same organization for now 11 years. We've won multiple championships, so it's no reason where I need to think about that yet. I'm not at a point where we are a bad team and I need to think about the future so right now I'm really focused on just enjoying this team, enjoying our quest to try to 'Three-peat.'
"And when the season is over, and whatever happens, then I will sit down and I will sit down with Chris and I will sit down with Bron and I will sit down and make the best decision for myself and my family."
Wade is almost certain to remain in Miami, but he spoke about the freedom to have a hand in his future with the opt-out clause in his contract.
"When we sat down and we signed our deals and all of us made sure we had an opt out in that fourth year, that was our option, so the option is there and you would hope that someone wants to be able to use their option as a player," Wade said.
He added: "As players, you only have so much time and you only have so many moments where you have the ability to control your own fate, so it's not a bad thing at all if that's what someone is thinking. I haven't had that conversation with Chris. I haven't had that conversation with Bron."
Wade, James and Bosh had a similar conversation in 2010, which ultimately brought them together in Miami. Bosh indicated last week he and James would return to Miami next season.
