The Chicago Bulls probably aren’t going to be very good in 2017-2018 and that makes things very interesting for Dwyane Wade. The future Hall of Fame guard opted in to a massive deal with Chicago for obvious reasons but that decision was made before the realization that the Bulls were likely bound for the lottery.
As a result, there has been plenty of speculation that the organization could provide Wade with a parachute in the form of a buyout in the near future and, now, there is some more fuel for that fire. In short, there is a report circulating that Wade’s children have moved back to Florida for school rather than staying put in Chicago.
I can officially confirm that Dwyane Wade's kids are back at school in S. Florida, no longer in Chicago.

Wade’s ties to south Florida are obvious as a long-time member of the Miami Heat and that makes the move a bit less noteworthy. At the same time, that won’t stop anyone from speculating that a buyout could be imminent and, if Wade were fully unencumbered from the Bulls, the Heat would be included on many lists of speculative landing spots for his services.
The 35-year-old guard isn’t the same player that he used to be at this point but Wade can certainly help a playoff-bound team for the 2017-2018 season and that doesn’t appear to be the Chicago Bulls. Let the rumor mill churn.
