NBA News: Why Dwyane Wade Doesn't Want To Form Another 'Big 3' For Miami

The Miami Heat is no longer the force it used to be after superstar LeBron James left, but Dwyane Wade does not regret the crumbling of the former Big 3.

Yahoo Sports reported that Wade is apparently satisfied with the way things are now in Miami, despite their 13-15 record in the Eastern Conference. According to Wade, if their former Big 3, which includes Chris Bosh, remained together for too long, their legacy would not have been as great through the years. He said that in the four years that James stayed with them, that four trips to the NBA Finals is a great feat that people will continue to talk positively about.

In a report by Business Insider, Wade shared that he understands the Cleveland Cavaliers' situation as the team adjusts to a new Big 3, but he added that he would not want to go through the same process again.

"Oh, we very well know what Kyrie [Irving] and Kevin [Love] are going through on a nightly basis, and even LeBron. You know, the thing is, [James] can do it again, because he's a little younger, but I wouldn't want to do it all over again. That was a grind, man. It was a great grind, because we got success out of it. But I wouldn't want to do it all over again. More kudos to him for doing it all over again. You've got to go through the same process, you know."

Bleacher Report wrote that Wade discussed his time with James and Bosh during their four-year dominance in the NBA, where at one point, they won 27 straight games. He said about the current Big 3 in Cleveland, "So I look to see if they have that same capability. I know they've got talent, but I don't know - is it going to be the same way, or is it going to be totally different?"

He added that Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving should be prepared to face criticisms, considering how much people expect from them as part of the new Big 3 of the NBA.

When asked whether he would consider joining James in Cleveland when he enters free agency in 2016, Wade responded with a laugh, "Ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Ahhh! That's funny!" He continued, "That is funny. I can't, I ain't even got an answer for that. Man, that's funny. We're gonna leave it at that."
