    Now Wojo mentioned that Wade is upset because Miami didnt match the Knicks offer for Amare.

    That is partly true. They dismantled the team to bring in top Free agents. Then they could have signed him and it would not have been so bad on the cap.

    What word did he give the Heat?

    It won't take much to round out that bench Denny. They'll need a few big bodies & shooters, but this team is a nightmare to face. Look at all the speed they have, guys who can finish around the rim and three capable play makers.

    Not a 3pt threat in the bunch. I'd play zone against them and watch them brick.

    And the big guys won't be guys like Gasol, Odom, and Bynum. More like Amir Johnson (if that good).

    When I posted the post about, I had not read the same Smith article. He mentions the same thing.

    Wade could be doing an end around on LeBron

    I thought he said he was staying in miami and wanted them to bring in other players, which is why they were clearing cap.

    Ya that part is true. Wanted to bring in other players. Well maybe it is more like Boozer. I know with Carlos he said yes he was going to sign. Although Wade has been recruiting, I have not read anywhere about Miami offering him money and a contract yet. That is why I said its partly true, when actually I should have said its not quite the same.

    I cannot, cannot believe this is happening. GF is going to kill me if I don't leave soon, but I can't put this down. Bulls, why can't I quit you?

    KC just said:

    @IraHeatBeat: For those who need to exhale, Wade's agent Henry Thomas just texted here and said "no signing imminent."

    Wade and James have been discussing the possibility of playing together, but the major hurdle to the starry alliance remains James’ reluctance to join Wade in Miami, sources say.

    “D-Wade and LeBron want to play together, but neither one wants to commit to each other,” a source with knowledge of the conversations told Yahoo! Sports on Friday.

    What is this nonsense?

    LeBron - I'll sign if only if you sign
    Wade - But I'm only going to sign if you sign
    LeBron - But what if I sign first and you don't sign
    Wade - I will sign if you sign first
    LeBron - You sign first
    Wade - No you sign first

    Ugh.

    Sources involved are saying Wade is seriously considering Chicago's offer but a lot of execs aren't buying it. Think Miami still in control.

    However, if Wade does land with the Bulls Miami will be kicking themselves for not ensuring Wade was locked up before chasing others.
