How would you like to be a fly on the wall at this congregation of Hoop stars?
You've said that you, LeBron James and Chris Bosh will have a dinner at the end of the season and talk free agency. Are you getting those guys in trouble mentioning that dinner? Wade: "No, I'm not getting them in trouble. Those guys like Chris and LeBron who decided not to talk about it, there's no secret they have to sit down and think about their future as well?We're all friends; we're all boys. I decided with LeBron to sign this deal to give ourselves the flexibility in the three years. So we're going to sit down again and talk about it." HoopsWorld
What are the chances any of you - LeBron, Chris Bosh, and I'll even throw fellow Olympian Joe Johnson in the mix - end up on the same team? Wade: "I really don't know what the chances are. Right now it looks like it's just talk and it's just chances. But you never know. I don't know. I'm not going say anything about those guys not being happy with their organizations because they all might be. You never know. You just have to wait and see. That's what keeps everybody into it. Because it's entertaining, it's the factor of the unknown. Who knows what's going to happen? And that's what we all want to see." HoopsWorld
Would you take significantly less money to play with somebody? Wade: "I'm just about winning. For me, I've been blessed in my life so far to have the riches I have right now. Going forward if I'm blessed to have another big contract and have riches, no matter what the number is, I'm blessed. If you'd asked me this when I was (growing up) in Robbins (Ill.), I wouldn't have thought I'd be in this position. So, to me it's not necessarily about the dollars and cents. It's about winning and making sure every year I can compete (for a title), and as long as I'll be giving my best to the organization, they're doing the same for me. Hopefully, we can have more (championship) parades as I play this game." So is that a "yes" or a "no" on taking less money? Wade: "(laughs) That's the answer I just gave." HoopsWorld
