[ffadicted]

[BullsDynasty]

lol

BullsDynasty is all giddy about nothing

Chicago asked for the 2nd meeting, and Wade obviously agreed.

Wade himself tweeted "what little do they know" when earlier, people were saying Wade might leave Miami

I find it funny you used that tweet in SUPPORT of your thread lmao

Oh and btw, it was Wade that requested the meeting not the other way around.

Via Chad Ford

According to the source, Wade requested a second meeting with Bulls shortly after the 2006 NBA Finals MVP spent more than two hours getting wooed by the New York Knicks at a downtown Chicago hotel Friday morning. The source stressed that Wade needed the meeting to clarify issues around signing with the Bulls.

CSN has confirmed that Wade and Bosh are both currently at Henry Thomas' office with #Bulls management #Heat #freeagency #NBA

i still think he stays with the heat.

[ducks]

be funny if wade leaves miama james goes to the heat

[BullsDynasty]

i still think he stays with the heat.

Wade made it clear that if F.O doesn't sign another big F.A then he's leaving. Amare is committed to NY, Bosh wants the max and that can only be done via Sign and Trade which Heat don't have good enough valuable pieces for.

[MiamiHeat]

The same source that said LeBron Wade and Bosh are a done deal in Miami?

lol, I didn't believe those reports and I don't believe these.

everyone is wrong and throwing out there.

you've done quite a bit of self-convincing lol but you dont know the facts

Toronto already said they wanted Beasley + Chalmers for Bosh in a S/T

But that hasn't happened yet so you're sources are just as unreliable.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

But that hasn't happened yet so you're sources are just as unreliable.

But we should fully believe this story and disregard the other.

The meeting was requested by Bulls. A party familiar with Wade's demeanor said he is not type to turn down such a request. Just a courtesy?


-----------

that's from Ira Winderman's twitter.

so yeah, conflicting reports eh?

[BullsDynasty]

So we should fully believe this story and disregard all the others.

I'm not saying that. Im just throwing out sources and facts just like everyone else on this forum is when something pops up. MiamiHeat is the one questioning their integrity.

Either Ira Winderman is lying or Chad Ford is.

So now we shouldn't, yet you didn't think twice to claim the Beasley dynasty starting.

[MiamiHeat]

I'm not saying that. Im just throwing out sources and facts just like everyone else on this forum is when something pops up. MiamiHeat is the one questioning their integrity.

Apparently, you got really giddy and started treating them as facts


When I first heard the LeBron-Wade-Bosh to Miami garbage.... I didn't believe it for one second. these journalists are throwing out there, it's setting back journalism 50 years.

so my questioning shouldn't be a surprise to you

[MiamiHeat]

# And if all of this is keeping you up, or away from holiday beer and brats, Wade's agent says "no decision" has been reached on any of this.

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.

[Basketballgirl25]

lol this... i thought free agency would be exciting, but 1 day into it, and I just wanna ing shoot all these guys already.

as much as I want to Nets to do good in getting someone in free agency I feel the same way. I just can't wait till they pick where there going. Even if it isn't the Nets all be happy because then it will be done.

[DDS4]

My penis is leaning towards the right. Might change tomorrow.

[namlook]

Wade made it clear that if F.O doesn't sign another big F.A then he's leaving. Amare is committed to NY, Bosh wants the max and that can only be done via Sign and Trade which Heat don't have good enough valuable pieces for.

The Heat can sign Wade and Bosh without a sign and trade.

[BullsDynasty]

The Heat can sign Wade and Bosh without a sign and trade.

They 'CAN' but thats not what Bosh wants. He wants the extra money which can only be done by a sign and trade.

Wade not ready to commit to Bulls

By Adrian Wojnarowski, Yahoo! Sports 22 minutes ago




Chicago Bulls executives pressed Dwyane Wade for a commitment on Friday afternoon, but the star free-agent guard wasn’t ready to make such a leap to leave the Miami Heat, a league source told Yahoo! Sports.


The Bulls were pushing for a commitment to arm them in a meeting set for Saturday with LeBron James in Cleveland. Officials will now try to work over James on constructing an All-Star free-agent alliance in Chicago.
The Bulls and Wade met for a second time on Friday and talked deeper about what it would take to sway Wade back to his hometown. Chris Bosh joined Wade and the Bulls for part of the meeting in the office of agent Henry Thomas, who represents both players. There are scenarios where the Bulls could try to work an arrangement for all three players to join them – presumably engineering a sign-and-trade with Toronto for Bosh – but the most likely partnership would come with Wade and James or Wade and Bosh.




“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.
Sources say Wade is intrigued by the talent the Bulls have to surround him, especially in contrast to how gutted the Heat roster has become in the clearing of salary cap space.
Chicago has a strong nucleus of young players, including Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah, who with Wade and James would instantly turn the Bulls into a championship contender.
Without Wade leaving Miami to join James elsewhere, league sources believe that the two players are most likely to re-sign with their respective teams, Miami and Cleveland. Still, Wade and Bosh are closely connected, and even without James, Wade is considering a Chicago partnership with Bosh. With $29.9 million in cap space, Chicago could give two different players a five-year, $87.6 million contract.
Sources say Chicago has a proposed trade of Luol Deng looming for what’s described as a “center” that could help to clear more space. The Bulls could also ship young forward James Johnson to get more room.
The Bulls must make a strong case to James on Saturday to get him to take what would be $30 million less than the Cavaliers could offer. Sources say one team that all but eliminated itself with James in the presentation process was the New York Knicks. James met with the organization on Friday and his inner circle has described New York’s presentation as lacking preparedness and organization. James’ camp also found it to be redundant to much of the New Jersey Nets’ far sharper, edgier presentation on James’ earning power.
James hasn’t been convinced that he can overcome the $30 million difference between possible Cleveland and New York offers through endorsements and other streams of revenue. However, Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov’s vision of bulking up James’ international portfolio did resonate with him, and the Nets’ vision of using Brooklyn and the owner’s international muscle does appeal to him.
Sources say James is dubious his mere presence on the Knicks will be worth that much more to him in endorsements. The appearance of Knicks GM Donnie Walsh in a wheelchair due to a neck problem and the frumpy, unimpressive Jim Dolan didn’t provide James with an image of vibrancy.

All I can say is, if Dwyane leaves for Chicago, after he ripped them in the media for treating their former stars badly, then he will have become the biggest hypocrite in the sports world. "Loyalty" is a two-way street."Loyalty" includes a player who was drafted, paid a tremendous amount of money, and given the opportunity to win a le staying with the team that provided all of those things to him and trusting that the same team will find a way to provide him with those same opportunities in the future.

[JamStone]

There's virtually no loyalty in pro sports, on either side. Not with players. Not with owners. It's extremely rare to find "loyalty" in pro sports. Maybe a guy like Jerry Sloan has it. But when it comes to players and ownership, it's too hard to show loyalty because a player's playing career is so limited. At some point, you have to cut ties. That's why you see Donovon McNabb get traded. That's why Michael Jordan retired after the 1998 NBA championship even though he didn't feel he was done. The Bulls were not going to bring back Pippen and Phil Jackson so Jordan bailed too. There's no loyalty.

The last player I think showed a mutual loyalty relationship with his team is Reggie Miller. It's extremely rare, and even more so in the landscape of today's pro sports with free agency and salary cap restrictions and the amount of money we're talking about.

Wade would be a hypocrite, but it wouldn't be surprising. Loyalty doesn't really matter in pro sports.

You couldn't have stated it any better . However what wade is doing is like for example when you have that kid who talks about you but next time the kid sees you he daps you up ?

Spoke with an agent who is very tuned in. He laughed off Wade departure concerns. "It's all a smokescreen," the reputable agent said.
