Sources involved are saying Wade is seriously considering Chicago's offer but a lot of execs aren't buying it. Think Miami still in control.

I don't buy it for a second, either. Not for a second. IMO both Wade and Bosh want to sign with Miami and are just playing games now. If this all falls through, as I expect that it will, I hope that people regard them as Beavis and Butthead.

If that is true, all 3 are coming to chicago

Except that LeBron's still in Ohio.

Wasting our time doing what? We've met with Lee, Boozer, Wade, Bosh. We're meeting with LeBron tomorrow. What would you suggest we be doing right now? Worst case scenario, we putting pressure on LeBron by showing all this interest in Wade. But I don't know how much that means to LeBron...no one is going to successfully pressure LeBron into anything. He knows teams will wait for him to make a decision.

Talking to the top free agents isn't wasting our time. It shows we are serious about contending for a title. And the only way Wade gets in the way of us getting Lebron is if he somehow keeps us from our meeting with him tomorrow. If he does some Spy vs. Spy stuff and switches up the road signs so we get lost on the way to the meeting I'll be ticked, but something tells me that's not happening.

LOL some radio guy in Miami is on ESPNnews and of course is being really calm and saying there is no way he leaves Heat.

This is the funny part, he says the reason Wade is doing this is to give some extra pub to his hometown.

Haha, ya I heard that too.

[kyrv]

I don't trust Wade one bit, and I can't believe so many people are falling for this. There isnt a doubt in my mind that he's just putting pressure on the Heat to get something done, and in the same time screwing the Bulls over by wasting their time, in an effort to make them miss out on Lebron

I want to punch Wade in the face

I agree re: this is just a ploy to weaken the Bulls, and maybe get Lebron not to sign here.

This could be very dangerous for the Bulls.

[Heat3]

So who the hell is Mike Wallace and why is he so pissed?


Its not the 60 minutes guy - right?

I hope so. That would be hysterical.

LOL, nah he's a Heat beat writer down here. I think with the Miami Herald.

But what Wade doesn't know is GarPax are taping this also so they can go to Lebron and drop the tape that has Wade telling the Bulls "you don't need Lebron, I can bring Bosh here and we'll run over Lebron for the rest of his career." All this stuff can play both ways, Wade can use what the Bulls said to sway Lebron, The Bulls can use what Wade said to do the same.

...There go those Bulls fans again underestimating Wade's spy powers.

[DuckIII]

i dunno whats going on anymore. could they really try to lock these guys up with out talking to lebron. i mean this would be insane if we locked them up tonite. but for us to not go after lebron, there would always be that regret.

While I'd much, much, much rather have LeBron, I don't think you could walk away from a Bosh / Wade combo if the two are both ready to commit.

I agree. Here's how it would have to be:

Henry Thomas: Dwyane and Chris are willing to commit to the Bulls right now.

Gar: That's exellent! John, Jerry? Would you all excuse me just one moment, I forgot to feed the meter.

*calmly steps out of room and then runs frantically out of earshot*

Gar: Leon, we're going to have to skip the meeting tomorrow. I need a committment from LeBron James immediately, and I mean right now, or we're locking up Bosh and Wade in 20 seconds.

Wasting our time by making it seem like he's interested, drawing it out (yet to be seen but I'm sure he will), so whilst the Bulls interview other players, they have this belief they can still sign Wade + (Bosh or Bron) if they move Deng. And then he just returns to sign with the Heat, and likely by then the majority of FA's have already signed with someone else

With all the optimism in this thread and on the Bulls board, someone has to be negative and I'm raising my hand for the job. I'm not the least bit excited

[The Force.]

Hey guys, I've managed to create a really cool concoction that helps to ease the overwhelming tension we're all under:

3 Grams: Marijuana
2 Pints: Maker's Mark Whiskey
1 Box: Kleenex

Combine ingredients. Stir for 2 minutes. Enjoy.

I'm sure they'll have no problems finding role players of the approx talent of Rose, Noah, & Deng.

Followed by:

Wade: Psyche, now that you've lost your chance with LBJ, we're actually gonna go ahead and sign with MIA.

[Toro Rojo]

Heh I feel the same way (as others): I cant trust Wade!

Commitment means nothing!

Its Day2 - and the Bulls haven't talked to Lebron yet. Unless Wade wants to play this game for the next week - he isn't drawing anything out.

Can people cool down on this 'double agent' BS. What exactly is Wade/Riley going to learn - that the Bulls are after Lebron?

[AAU Teammate]

Generally free agents aren't sent out like this to scare the bejeezus out of the home team's fanbase. That kind of thing puts a freeze on season ticket sales, doesnt it? What Heat fan is picking up the phone right now? If it's a master plan, it's not a very bright one.

It doesnt really affect the Bulls in any way. We are going into this thing with no leverage, and just a pitch to Lebron.
