The following season, Heat finished with a record of 48-34 and reached the semifinals in the playoffs. Despite making the postseason, there were too many contractual issues involving Wade which led him to move to Chicago Bulls.
Wade eventually returned from the Cleveland Cavaliers as Bosh had medical issues due to which he was forced into retirement. The franchise traded for Jimmy Butler in 2019 for Josh Richardson and have decided to build around the young core of Duncan Robinson, Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro.
