The Miami Heat are currently in a slump and star player Dwyane Wade wants some trades and improvements for the team now. While the Heat are still recovering from LeBron James' sudden departure, Wade believes the team can still contend.

He is the face of the Miami Heat and he does not want to change that, but he wants a better supporting cast. Team president Pat Riley has a long term goal and Dwyane Wade is actually a free agent in 2016, but he does not want to wait that long. From the Miami Herald:

"I'm not really focused on waiting until 2016. I don't know what that means. That's their organization. They do what they want from that standpoint. I'm not involved in that. I'm a player. Whatever decision they make from a 2016 standpoint is on them. The only thing I can control is the decisions I make and what I do."

But that doesn't mean he does not have an opinion. Especially now that the team is losing.

"Whoever is here, whatever we decide to do, you just want to be competitive. That's all I ask for myself and for our guys." Wade also admonishes: "Nobody knows what's going to happen in 2016; 2016, to me, is so far away and I hope people aren't waiting on it thinking we're going to land this quote, unquote Big Fish because it might not happen for you. No one knows if Riley is going to wait until 2016. It's all speculation."

The Heat are still in trade rumors for a big man, and they were also weak contenders for Josh Smith. Wade wants to have real improvements because he believes they can still be a playoff team even without LeBron James.
