Wade: Decision to leave Heat for Bulls still ‘surreal’

Thursday morning, Wade played co-host to Kelly Ripa on the set of “Live with Kelly” and spoke about the emotional roller coaster he’s been on the last few weeks.

No, there are only two things that will make Westbrook choose one team over another: money and the chance to get rings. After 13 years, I have chose to embark on a new journey with the Chicago Bulls.

As good as Wade is, he is also 34 years old.

“Jimmy’s the youngest, he’s the engine here”, Rondo told reporters.

Many fans clamored for Wade to join his old buddy James with the Cavaliers after Kevin Durant chose to join the already stacked Golden State Warriors.

Wade is coming home to Chicago after 13 seasons, 12 All-Star selections and three championships with Miami.

Instead, with Durant opting to sign with the Golden State Warriors and Wade moving on to the Chicago Bulls, Whiteside will wind up with the $98 million over four years he had agreed upon last Friday with the Heat during the opening hours of National Basketball Association free agency.

At the iconic Cafe Versailles, no one was exactly crying into their cortaditos, but instead of the usual political talk, the topic of conversation turned to Wade.

Trading Derrick Rose and letting the likes of Joakim Noah and Pau Gasol walk was jarring to the fanbase, even if it wasn’t unexpected. There will be three alphas on the team.

With all of this in mind, it’s hard to say that this was a great move by the Bulls. “That wasn’t our goal”. The club would have to trade several players to free up cap space and LeBron would have to take a pay cut in order to make it work.

“Just because there are so many players in the league from Marquette, I do think there’s a brotherhood because of that”.

The question is: Just what are the Bulls getting into?

Magic: Bismack Biyombo identified a weakness in Orlando Magic when he played against them in recent seasons. “You’d probably consider me stubborn”. “I was more nervous about this than everything last night”.

He said he doesn’t “lose sleep” over his reputation. “We thought the dialogue was really, really positive”.

This past season he played a career low 30.5 minutes a game and averaged 19.0 points per game, which equalled his lowest total since his rookie season in 2003-04.
