Only making things more interesting was the fact that Chris Bosh stopped by during part of the meeting, too. Therefore, it is looking as if the chances of a Bosh-Wade combo signing in Chicago might be a strong possibility.
So why does Wade want to leave the sunny beaches of South Florida now?
Well, apparently, he has finally began to think about how difficult it would be to build a team around him, LeBron and Bosh with only two other players under contract and no more cap space to use.
You kind of knew that the players were eventually going to figure this out and realize that the Miami "Big Three" pipe-dream was nothing more than that, a pipe-dream. (I can't even imagine how bad a team Miami will field if they lose Wade. I mean who the hell would go there? They might push for the regular season worst record.)
How does this affect the Knicks and Nets? Well, it never seemed like Wade was seriously considering either team. Both teams are focused on LeBron as the prize. The only worry, though, is that if Wade goes to Chicago, then Bosh will most likely, which only leaves Carlos Boozer as an option for the Nets, and the Knicks seem settled into the notion of adding Stoudemire anyway.
Finally, the best part of this for Knicks' fans is reveling in the fact that everything is blowing up in Pat Riley's face. Something tells me that during the next few days, Riley's hair might actually be a little ruffled.
(Note: I just realized I've been spelling Dwyane Wade's first name incorrectly as Dwayne this whole time. Weird spelling, that's all I got to say about that.)
