CHICAGO -- Dwyane Wade is leaning toward committing to the Chicago Bulls, a source close to the situation told ESPN.com's Chad Ford on Friday.

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.

If Wade were to agree to join the Bulls, it could clear the way for fellow free-agent superstars Chris Bosh or LeBron James to join Wade in Chicago.

Wade had dinner with Bosh in Chicago on Thursday night and according to the source, one topic of discussion was the advantages of playing with the Bulls versus the Heat.

The source said Wade is unclear how the Heat, who currently have just two players under contract, will be able to build a championship contender around him given salary cap constraints. While the Heat have the money to bring in one more max player (and possibly a second if they do a sign-and-trade), the team will have to fill the rest of the roster with minimum salary players. The Bulls on the other hand, already have several key players including Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah in place. If the Bulls can work out a deal to ship Luol Deng's contract out of town, they would have the funds to add James or Bosh to the puzzle too.

The Bulls have already met with Bosh and are scheduled to meet with James on Saturday in Ohio.

Or so Miami gives him all the money he wants.

Meh, Wade strikes me as a guy who wants to win, he's got plenty of money from endorsements.....I think he ends up in Miami unless Miami cant sign any other big name free agents. Then and only then does he bolt imo....

I think he will end up with Bosh because those two seem like they want to WIN. LeBron seems like he cares about the money more than the rings.

I think Bosh and Wade go to Miami because they want to win and LeBron and Amare go to New York because they want the money, and Chicago is picks up David Lee.

I think LeBron wants a ring I just think he wants the easy path to it. Otherwise why doesn't he stay in Cleveland, they have talent, and they could still add a piece with a sign and trade...

Forget what I said I am now buying it... this just in

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.

They would have to do a sign and trade for one of the individuals which would mean Luol Deng is gone.

Could Be Chicago Bulls Depth Chart

Center

1. Joakim Noah

Power Forward

1. Chris Bosh

2. Taj Gibson

Small Forward

1. LeBron James

2. James Johnson

Shooting Guard

1. Dwayne Wade

Of Course they need some more players but that is not a bad start.

Wade is fuging w/ the Bulls. He is distracting them, making them focus all of their attention on him, while Miami sneaks in the for the kill.

Yep thats what I think, however if Miami cant sign any big name guys I think he will bounce....

      Nic Scourton- PFF Highest Rated Rookie (Week 5)

      By strato · Posted

      I am just saying that there are realistic alternatives to the Dan is totally Fitterer in all his opinions and incapable of his own mind. Because we don’t know what really happened.     And your job is to support your boss even if you aren’t 100% in agreement.  And further you do not publicly dissent.  Publicly meaning when more than just the two of you are around.    ISO believe he is doing Tepper’s bidding on a lot of things and I believe it was very likely as a new hire, in 2024.  If I were to speculate further I would think that Canales has a big say in the offensive evaluations and Dan might not feel like he should be flatly overruling him since he is not an offensive guy. Any differences of opinion, if Canales feels strongly about an evaluation or decision Dan would be more likely to go with Dave than to overrule.    But can’t claim to know anything with any certainty.    I do think Dan showed us some solid work in this draft.    I also am WTF no QB competition. But I know we agree that it wouldn’t take much to show Bruce up and it seems like they were avoiding that.   In the big picture of the developmental arc they may have decided on, maybe that was okay for year two. It will absolutely not be okay for next year. And Canales has brought Hookernin so that is a small move in the direction we wanted them to go.

      Just to be clear no one in the front office at the time before or immediately following the 2023 draft including Fitterer Morgan or Reich was saying Bryce Young would need the highest paid OL in the entire league which we now have just to look halfway serviceable.
