Well, Some Guy...I'd love to hear something better out of you calling in, but in my extimate, you're a coward.

I am sure he isn't motivated by trying to win a championship in a sport he has devoted his life to. I am sure the motivation from the other two "dissing" him will really put him over the top from a motivation perspective.

If he is really motivated to win a championship, it sure isn't showing. I thought personal pride might motivate him further. But it appears that isn't the case either.

Inknow most people officially and unofficially ignore Steve but am I the only one who genuinely was curious as to his thoughts on this? I honestly stopped reading after he said rose courted the other guys. He very publicly and sincerely did the opposite and in my opinion that's what pushed him to mvp caliber along with obviously his mother and a multitude of other reasons

He and Noah met with (had dinner with) James and Wade as well as Bosh.

Now I'm not claiming to be all-knowing, but I never heard this. Do you have something to back this claim up? Like FF, I heard Rose may have sent a text or left a vm, but nothing about a dinner with all three.

For once, I'm not trying to be sarcastic, I honestly never heard this and wonder if you have a source you can cite to back it up.

It was reported when Wade, James and Bosh were flown in for their respective interviews (separately-NOT all 3 at 1 time) that they were met by Rose and Noah and had spent time with each of them (lunch/dinner) while in town. Wade in fact extended his visit an extra day, as he SEEMED to be seriously considering whether Chicago might be the best option. I'm not writing for the Tribune/SunTimes so I am not going to cite sources as if I need to verify anything. It's what I heard reported on either the Score or ESPN at the time and what was reported in the newspapers.

Oasis sucks??? Not my favorite group by any means, but still....they put out some decent material. Don't look back in anger, Live Forever, Wonderwall and Slide Away are all pretty solid works. As soon as you produce something better, let me know. It's a lot easier to be a critic than to produce something of substance.

Really?? This was actually reported? Somebody thought that a guy who has a home in Chicago, who's mother lives in Chicago, who has 2 sons in Chicago... he might be staying an extra day because he was seriously considering the Bulls? That's why he's stayed?
Seriously?

He DID take a second meeting with the Bulls that day...

Wade, Bulls meet for a second time

CHICAGO (AP) -- The sweepstakes for Dwyane Wade has gotten a lot more interesting.
The Miami Heat star on Friday wrapped up his second meeting in as many days with the Chicago Bulls, who are clearly intrigued with the possibility of landing the free agent guard - perhaps as bait in addition to his skills. The meeting came on the eve of the Bulls' pitch to LeBron James, the top free agent in this extraordinary year.
Wade shrugged when asked if the Bulls had made him an offer during the 2 1/2-hour meeting, which he said he agreed to at the team's request.
"Things are getting very interesting," he said.
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."
Wade's morning started with the Knicks, who became the fourth team in two days hoping to lure Wade away from the Heat. The two sides met for 2 hours and 15 minutes.
"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 from a downtown hotel. Wade met with the Bulls and then the New Jersey Nets on Thursday, and he heard from the Heat when free agency opened.
As Wade talked with the Knicks, Heat president Pat Riley was spending about three hours in Cleveland with 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.
Despite his ties to Chicago - a home and family, including his mother, and a pastor who has a church that her son purchased for her in the city - Wade has said repeatedly he would like to stay in Miami. But he did structure his last contract for the opportunity to become a free agent for the first time.
Wade is expected to return to Florida next week, and it's believed that's when he and Riley will talk. Wade is scheduled to 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.
Fellow free agent superstar Chris Bosh tweeted that he and Wade dined Thursday night in Chicago and posted a picture to prove it. Bosh also said "it feels like someone is missing," an apparent reference to James.
Before free agency began, Wade's camp said he had discussed various options at separate times with both James and Bosh.
Just for a little more intrigue, Bosh was having another meeting late Friday. With the Bulls.
Chicago has nearly $30 million in salary cap room available and has made a series of moves to add as many as two marquee players to go with All-Star point guard Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah, Luol Deng and Taj Gibson. The Bulls are coming off back-to-back, 41-win seasons.
The Bulls also met with Carlos Boozer and David Lee on Friday, raising the possibility that their frontcourt could be in for an overhaul.

You're such a knob.
