Dwyane Wade's number 3 is already taken in Cleveland
In a shock to absolutely no one the Cleveland Cavaliers reeled in Dwyane Wade on a veteran's minimum salary on Wednesday after his buyout with the Chicago Bulls. While I preferred to watch him have to endure a season of misery on the rebuilding Bulls of course he managed to finagle his way out of town. He was bought out by Chicago and reunited with his pal LeBron James in short time, but one thing doesn't land in Wade's favor - his number 3 is already taken by our old pal Isaiah Thomas:

Of course rather than choose another number that was available Wade made LeBron bully Cavs rookie Cedi Osman out of his number 9 after practice Wednesday afternoon:
After practice, LeBron is negotiating w/ the CLE equipment manager on behalf of Wade for a uniform number. No. 9, Osman's uni, is in talks— Dave McMenamin (@mcten) September 27, 2017
Wade donned the number nine playing for Team USA because he thinks he's Michael Jordan:

I'm very much looking forward to the Cavaliers backcourt of IT and Wade closing out games when Isaiah comes back from injury. Those guys are going to be lights out on the defensive end!
