As part of the deal, Wade will join Turner Sports as a commentator, making appearances on TNT’s NBA event coverage and serving as a regular analyst for the network’s Tuesday night studio coverage joining Shaquille O’Neal and Candace Parker.
Along with his NBA duties, Wade also will appear in studio at the NCAA Final Four and National Championship as part of Turner Sports and CBS Sports’ coverage of the annual collegiate tournament.
Additionally, Wade will take on a creative director role at sports media company Bleacher Report, which was acquired by Warners in 2012 for $175 million. Wade will work with Bleacher Report to develop
