Heat star Dwyane Wade is happy about the team's signing of free agent point guard Shaun Livingston.

"I talked to everybody," Wade said. "For the future of Miami, that's a good start when you talk about point guard. It's a great move. I'm really happy, excited to see our team continue to build for the future."

Both Wade and Livingston are from Illinois, and they share agent Henry Thomas. Wade reportedly encouraged the Heat to sign Livingston.
