Dwyane Wade is reportedly ready to listen to offers from teams other than the Heat in free agency, but many believe he is just creating leverage and would never leave Miami.
Executives from other NBA teams are not convinced.
According to Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical, teams have already made multi-year offers to Wade and believe he is actually considering moving on.

We know of at least two teams that Wade’s reps have reached out to, so it’s possible that they have made competitive offers.
Hassan Whiteside announced in a post for The Players Tribune on Friday that he is staying with the Heat. Woj said on The Vertical’s free agency show Thursday that Miami was looking for Wade to take less money so they could afford Whiteside, and it remains unclear if D-Wade is willing to do that.
