Also during that offseason, the Heat would select [[Bam Adebayo]] during the [[2017 NBA draft]] and on February 8, 2018, the Miami Heat would acquire Dwyane Wade back from the Cleveland Cavaliers.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.sbnation.com/nba/2018/2/8/16992052/dwyane-wade-return-miami-heat-cleveland-cavaliers|title=Dwyane Wade is finally returning to Miami, where he belongs|website=Sbnation.com|date=February 8, 2018|access-date=August 1, 2018|archive-date=July 30, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180730141713/https://www.sbnation.com/nba/2018/2/8/16992052/dwyane-wade-return-miami-heat-cleveland-cavaliers|url-status=live}}</ref> Wade willed the Heat to a game two win against the Philadelphia 76ers in the first round of the [[2018 NBA playoffs|2018 playoffs]], but the team would lose the series in five games. Wade retired after one last season with the Heat in [[2018–19 NBA season|2018–19]]; Bosh and Wade's jerseys were retired in March 2019 and February 2020, respectively.
