Dwyane Wade could have another option to weigh as he makes a decision on whether he will keep playing professional basketball.
The Xinjiang Flying Tigers of the China Basketball Association are preparing to offer the 36-year-old guard "a monster deal," according to basketball reporter Zhang Duo (via Sportando).
Wade signed a lifetime deal with Chinese apparel company Li-Ning earlier this week and has recently been in China to promote the release of his "Way of Wade 7" shoe.
Wade addressed the looming decision of whether he will return for his 16 season in a news conference Wednesday.
"When I get back from China, I'll focus on that. Right now, I'm focused on the game after basketball," Wade said, via the Associated Press.
"Whatever happens in basketball, it happens. I've done everything that I can to this point to put myself in this position I am today, where I can do something that hasn't been done globally yet. The basketball will take care of itself. I'll sit down and figure that out once I get back from this tour at some point."
Wade spent the first 13 seasons of his career with the Heat, winning three championships. He played for the Bulls in 2016 and signed a one-year, $2.3 million contract with the Cavaliers in late September.
Wade, however, appeared in just 46 games for Cleveland before he was dealt back to the Heat in February. Wade averaged 12 points per game for Miami after the trade.
