The two have been connected in the past. Wade, who is part owner of the Jazz, was seen coaching Mitchell from the sidelines of Game 1 of the 2021 Western Conference semifinals. He was spotted again practicing with Mitchell before a playoff game this previous postseason.

Wade even went on J.J. Redick’s podcast after Mitchell’s 57-point performance against the Denver Nuggets in 2020. He said he sees more similarities with himself and Mitchell than any other NBA player.

This connection is another sign of optimism for Heat fans who want to see Mitchell in Miami next season.

The shooting guard averaged 25.9 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 5.3 assists. Mitchell alongside Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo could create a Big Three, which is the formula for many championship-level teams.
