米國時間禮拜五閃電俠跟公牛有了第二次會談 稍後傍晚Bosh也來了
消息來源說前一天禮拜四晚上閃電俠跟Bosh在芝加哥一起吃晚餐商談
禮拜六公牛照計畫去跟小皇帝聊聊
CHICAGO -- Dwyane Wade met with the Chicago Bulls for a second time on
Friday, but left the meeting without making a formal commitment to the
Bulls, a source told ESPN.com's Chad Ford on Friday evening.
The 2½-hour meeting included the Bulls' front office, Wade and his agent
Henry Thomas. Multiple reports said Chris Bosh joined the group for part
of the meeting.
"Things are getting very interesting," Wade said after the meeting.
The same source told ESPN.com earlier on Friday that Wade went into
the meeting leaning toward committing to the Bulls. After the meeting,
Wade remains on the fence, according to the source.
If Wade were to agree to join the Bulls, it could clear the way for
fellow free-agent superstars Bosh or LeBron James to join Wade in
Chicago. Wade was asked whether James will have any influence on
what he does.
"We're both going to make our own decisions," Wade replied. "Of course,
we're real good friends. But you know, we're on two different pages
right now. He's in Cleveland. I'm in Chicago. We're doing two
different things. I don't know.
"It's going to take the weekend for everyone to think about what they
want to do. This is not an easy decision to make and everyone thinks
it is."
The Bulls also met with Bosh on Friday evening and are scheduled to
meet with James on Saturday in Ohio. Wade was asked whether James
will have any influence on what he does.
The Bulls felt positive coming out of the meetings with Bosh and Wade,
a source familiar with the situation said.
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.
Wade has multiple ties to Chicago -- a home and family, including
his mother, a pastor whose church in the city was purchased for her
by her son -- but has said repeatedly he would like to stay with
the Miami Heat. However, he did structure his last contract for
the opportunity to become a free agent for the first time.
The Heat are scheduled to meet with Wade again on Saturday in Chicago.
Wade's morning sitdown with the Knicks lasted 2 hours and 15 minutes
and Wade spoke with reporters as he was leaving the hotel.
"It was a good meeting, it was a real good meeting and I will say
I'm intrigued," he said, declining further comment before driving
away.
Beforehand, Wade got out of a black Suburban and told reporters he
was "in a New York state of mind right now, so we'll see" how it
goes.
Earlier in the day, he tweeted that he got up early for "Another
day of pondering my future. ... Things are interesting to say the
least."
Wade met the Bulls and New Jersey Nets on Thursday, plus heard
from the Heat when free agency opened.
"So far, so good, very informative," his agent, Henry Thomas, said
Thursday of the teams' pitches so far.
Nets head coach Avery Johnson was confident in the team's pitches
to both Wade and Bosh, whom the team also met with Friday.
"We told our story. We showed our vision," a smiling Johnson said
Friday after putting Nets rookies and free agents through a practice
for an upcoming summer league. "We talked about how we already have
some valuable assets and that's all you can do. We understand
there is competition out there and at the end of the day those
prospective free agents, they are going to do what is best for
them and their families."
As Wade talked with the Knicks, Heat president Pat Riley was spending
about three hours in Cleveland with LeBron James, who Wade would
love to team up with next season.
And given the interest Wade is showing other clubs, it's obviously
incumbent upon Riley to deliver a star to Miami.
Wade is expected to return to Florida early next week and join Heat
executive Alonzo Mourning for a Tuesday news conference about
their annual Summer Groove, a fundraising weekend for youth
programs and other charitable causes. Wade is expected to play
in an all-star game as part of that weekend on July 18.
