Wow.

The same guy who missed like 26 straight shots in the Conference Finals.

And they wonder why so many teams are hurting for money.

Wade is meeting with the Bulls again tonight. I have no problem with it. He has to do his due diligence if the Heat strike out.

Bulls may have found a taker for Deng. Shit. http://www.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/67763/20100702/bulls_have_proposed_deng_trade_for_serviceable_center/

Lakers reach 4 year deal with Steve Blake. Nice pickup.

Wade learning towards the Bulls, per an ESPN source. I hope they're wrong like usual. http://www.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/67769/20100702/source_wade_leaning_towards_bulls/

Lakers agree to deal with Steve Blake. This probably takes them out of the running for Mike Miller

They're playing hardball with Fisher too. That'd be a shame if he ever left them.

That would be a total dick move by Wade imo. He was the only one that came out and said he would like to stay with his current team. I wonder what changed in the past 24 hours? I still can't see him leaving though

It would definintely break some hearts. He's said he wants to be in Miami, but that's only if they can get a great team together, if they couldn't, he's out. He's sorta like LBJ, looking for reasons to leave, not stay. Pat not getting him title pieces is the reason to leave. Others think this may be a smart power move by Wade. If Bosh came they would have a great team. But LBJ could go to Chicago and they would have a better team. If Wade and Bosh sign on that dotted line, it sorta leaves LBJ left with the Cavs or NY or Nets (unless a trade gets LBJ there, not sure anyteam would do that if those two guys are about to ink up). I think I'd take that Chicago team over anybody else. With Bosh/ Wade and their agent meeting with Bulls management, it tells me one thing-- Pat failed to convince anybody of Miami and Wade's gotten word of it. Listening to their pitch once or twice is one thing, but meeting with them with your agent and Bosh is totally different. That is some very legit interest and borderline contract negotiations. But hey, I still believe in Pat. I ain't jumping off the ship, but I have noticed that the wind has us on course to hit them fuckin' rocks ahead of us!

If this happens, Cavs will HAVE to find some kind of way to make a huge move just to compete in this division (assuming Lebron would stay) let alone the conference. Wade & Rose on the same team seems as odd as LBJ & Wade. Only one basketball and Wade & Rose both want to handle it.

For those who need to exhale, Wade's agent Henry Thomas just texted here and said "no signing imminent." This is just part of big picture.

According to Comcast Sports Chicago on Twitter, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh are together at the office of their agent, Henry Thomas, along with Chicago Bulls management on Friday night.
This is obviously getting uglier for the Heat by the minute. And you also have to wonder if LeBron would also be there if he was in Chicago and not Cleveland. And speaking of LeBron, his swap to make his meeting with the Bulls his final one? It's looking like a bigger part of the story than ever. At this point, we wouldn't be surprised if all three players agree to take lower, matching salaries to somehow make a deal work, but that's obviously just speculation.

I don't listen to Ira at all. I'm more of an insider than he is. He's notorious for being wrong and pushing his own agenda in Miami.

If Wade & Bosh sign in Chicago, 95% he stays unless he doesn't want to compete with them in the division. In that case, NJ. I don't see that pay cut scenario that you posted from Rotoworld happening.

Where's he going then? Certainly NOT Chicago. Unless NJ lands Chris Paul (which the Cavs will also likely push hard for), I doubt he goes there either.

Keep dreaming...

take your Cavs blinders off

He would kill to play with Wade and Bosh in Chicago....
Chicago Sirius station is saying that there may be an agreement between Bosh,Wade and Chicago tonight and they may travel with the team to Cleveland tomorrow to pitch Lebron

You might want to do a little research on Bosh. He WANTS that 6th year which means S&T. Toronto doesn't want Deng so their could be a little glitch in your grand master Cleveland bashing plan, asshole.

How am I bashing Cleveland??

Looks like someone is starting to lose it

What has Lebron said is his No.1 goal?
