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

1. Joakim Noah

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....

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
