On August 6, NBA retired superstar Dwyane Wade reviewed the 2010 Heat's formation of the Big Three in 2010 on a podcast show. Wade said he had planned to sign the Chicago Bulls during the offseason, but a phone call from LeBron James changed everything.

"I was thinking, I was going home, I was going back to Chicago. I played for seven years in Miami and won a championship. It was time to start the next chapter, and that's how I was when I entered the free agent market."

Wade said that staying with the Heat was still an option for him, but he received that call at the time. "I received a call from No. 6, which was James. I was shocked. I like the showdown with James, but I never thought about playing with him."

"LeBron and my agent both called me, and they explained to me on the phone that the Miami Heat had quietly prepared enough to sign three star players and build the luxury Big Three."
