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

Power Forward

1. Chris Bosh

2. Taj Gibson

Small Forward

1. LeBron James

2. James Johnson

Shooting Guard

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....

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tbe · Posted

      Sure, that is possible. That’s what, an extra 55 yards a game on average and 7 more TDs? What if he’s just 15th?  I imagine they would extend him in that situation due to the belief that he’ll keep trending up. maybe a 3 year contract to prove he can be top 10? Sounds like a Tepper plan.
