The NBA offseason is officially here. It's been going on for some time, actually

Overview

  • Dwyane Wade said he intended to sign with the Chicago Bulls in the 2010 free agency period after seven years with the Miami Heat.
  • On The OGs Show he revealed Miami was still an option until LeBron James personally called to propose joining forces.
  • The call prompted Wade to team up with James and Chris Bosh, creating Miami’s “Big Three.”
  • Chicago’s front office also missed out on James in 2010, with insiders noting MVP Derrick Rose never phoned to recruit him.
  • LeBron James has not publicly commented on Wade’s account and recently opted into his 2025–26 Lakers contract.
