"I was in my theatre room watching all the bubble games and I was like, 'there's one more little piece that's missing.' Maybe it's a player off the bench that can play 15 or 20 minutes... Jimmy was incredible and he needed just a little bit more help and I felt like I was actually the little bit more help."
"If Wade ends up playing one more season and ends up being the final piece of their championship puzzle, that changes a ton. Maybe Jimmy gets his extension. Perhaps his relationship with the Heat never gets fractured."
"Wade gets a fourth title. Jimmy gets his first. The Heat get their first, in a matter of four years, in the post-LeBron James era. Perhaps most interestingly, LeBron never gets his ring in Los Angeles."
Dwyane Wade expressed that had he played one more season, he could have significantly impacted the Miami Heat's chances in the 2020 NBA Finals against the Los Angeles Lakers. Wade felt the team lacked a crucial piece during the series, which they lost in six games. He suggested that even in a limited role, his experience could have provided the necessary support for Jimmy Butler. The potential victory would have altered the Heat's legacy and affected player relationships and future championships.
