Time to save up some $ and get one of those Wade t-shirts.
Central Division is going to be the best in the NBA this year. Bulls vs Cavs & Bulls vs Pacers will be fun to watch. Also don't sleep on Bulls vs Bucks... Can't wait to see Wade, Jimmy & Rondo step on the court together.

I enjoyed the press conference and I'm excited to see D.Wade bring good leadership to the team.

Riley part was kind of BS. Him not calling was clearly a major factor.
Otherwise great interview

Re: Wade thread #2; Update: Press Conference info page 9
You guys got one Chicago.
I still feel bitter that we didn't do what needed to be done to keep him (if we offer him $25 million after getting rid of McRoberts, he stays here, I don't care what he said about dreaming about playing in Chicago). But I'm happy that he's happy and that at least he's not going to have to suffer through our rebuilding while he still has it in him to be a top 3 guy on a championship team. Maybe you guys get lucky and make a trade or two and become that championship team during the year.
Good luck next season, I think you guys will be better than expected.

Re: Wade thread #2; Update: Press Conference info page 9
Plus I'm excited to watch him with Rondo since he's never really played with a great passer who wasn't really shoot first and looking out for his own numbers first and foremost (LeBron). Wade has had to work really hard for his points these past 2 years despite playing with a PG that's making almost as much as him, so if those two can figure it out expect to be very surprised by the production you get out of him.

Saudades.

It leads to the rest of his tweet on the top right. Figured it out a while back.

Is there a video replay of the presser yet?
Or it's still ongoing?

Oh wow! Can't believe I never noticed that before. Thanks for letting me know.
Presser is over, but I'm sure someone will upload it on YouTube.

Re: Wade #2; Update: Press Conference info page 9
So, did anyone catch Wade pretty much confirming the rumors that the Bulls were very close to landing Lebron, Wade, and Bosh back in 2010?
I'm pretty sure there was talk about a Lu Deng deal that had fell through that would have cleared up just enough cap space to make it happen.
Also, I love how he gave major props to Jimmy about recruiting him.

I'm thinking had Rose not been here in 2010 that Wade, Lebron and Bosh would have all came here

Re: Wade thread #2; Update: Press Conference info page 9
The Bulls should have traded for Wade on draft night in 03. Why didn't it happen again?
