Dwyane Wade began the free-agency period in Chicago, holding meetings with the Bulls and Nets on Thursday and the Knicks on Friday. But it was a second meeting with the Bulls on early Friday evening that has everyone reassessing where Wade stands. Wade met with the Bulls for a second time on Friday, but left the meeting without making a formal commitment to the Bulls. The 2½-hour meeting included the Bulls' front office, Wade and his agent Henry Thomas. "Things are getting very interesting," Wade said after the meeting. The same source told ESPN.com earlier on Friday that Wade went into the meeting leaning toward committing to the Bulls. After the meeting, Wade had still had not committed, according to the source. The source said he was still torn between Miami and Chicago and was waiting to see what LeBron James and Chris Bosh would like to do. Wade would prefer to play with Bosh in either Miami or Chicago and is also open to playing with LeBron. Wade is happy in Miami and knows the Heat can offer him roughly $30 million more to stay at home. Wade has a familiarity in Miami and is loyal to the team. A number of league sources have said that Wade is flirting with the Bulls to get the Heat to be more proactive in recruiting free agents or to create drama to his documentary that he's filming about the free agent process. However, a source close to Wade told me that other factors, both basketball and personal, have Wade seriously considering leaving Miami for Chicago.

First thought. Good. Second thought. Gee, he'll sure be happy here if the only reason he's coming is due to a bitter divorce and custody battle. That brightens moods and focuses the mind on basketball
I heard some people were making a documentary about Wade and his journey through this FA period. Makes me think this is all planned and just the "drama" factor in the whole thing. Would love to be proven wrong but I'm not too optimistic.
Maybe he's dramatically telling Mickey Arison to kiss his black ass right now and then running out of the meeting room laughing? That'd be way more dramatic than stringing the Bulls along. And funnier and it'd sell more DVDs.
LOL. What this does though is give wade the oppurtunity to play the family card. He's pondering whether or not he wants to be in his home city playing near family and friends and be closer to his children....or go back to Miami and play for the team he came up with. You'll probably see a crying scene or 2 from wade lol. Its all bull**** in the end.....but how interesting would a documentary about wades free agency be if he signed with the Heat right away?
