NBA: James hopes Wade will join Cavs

LOS ANGELES, (APP/AFP) - LeBron James is hopeful Dwyane Wade will join the Cleveland Cavaliers after he secured his buyout from the Chicago Bulls.

 

The 35-year-old guard bought out his contract with the Bulls on Sunday, and is now poised to listen to offers from a string of potential suitors.

 

Wade passed up around $8 million in salary to obtain the buyout, according to ESPN.

 

Wade is a former teammate of James from their time at the Miami Heat -- and the Cleveland star is enthusiastic about a possible reunion.

 

"I would love to have D-Wade a part of this team," James told reporters on Monday.
