Why Hasn't Dwyane Wade Announced He is Staying in Miami Yet?

If, as has been portrayed by the South Florida media for the past few months were true that Dwyane Wade was definitely returning to the Heat wouldn't he be more actively involved in helping to recruit talent to join him in Miami?

Perhaps Wade's meetings with the Bulls were legitimate and he is truly conflicted about where to go. His divorce and custody battle have to be playing a major role in his thought process. As the father of four kids I know I would surely be thinking heavily about moving back home to provide stability in my kids lives.

So, here is what I am wondering. Does Dwyane Wade know he is going to Chicago? And if he does is he taking his time to be respectful of the people in Miami who have been very good to him over the past several years? If his children and winning are his top priorities then the only choice for him to make is to play in Chicago. Imagine a backcourt with Wade and Derrick Rose. Then add in Joakim Noah and another signing from the free agent class of 2010 and you have a team that would be among the favorites to win the NBA title this season. In Miami you have a franchise that is devoid of talent and has only two players currently under contract.

You have to believe that Jerry Reinsdorf and company are too smart to not have a deal with one of the prime time free agents very close to completion. Why else would they have traded Kirk Hinrich and been working extremely hard to move Luol Deng. The Bulls have been extremely professional and noticeably quiet as the process plays itself out.  For those of us in Chicago, a Wade, Bosh, Rose trio is what we dream about. For those in Miami it is their worst nightmare come true.

I really hope ESPN is wrong on this one, but a report says that Bosh to Miami with Wade and Lebron will go to either Cleveland or New York. I dont think Chicago is out of it though. Obviously Lebron has made his mind up, but I think if we see the bulls get someone today, it may help our case...

Chicago brought a knife to a gun fight. Officer Malone is crying in his grave.

Well, we havent lost it yet. It is incredible how last week we were the favorites and all of the sudden, because of one one unofficial report, we have slipped into last place. I still have my fingers crossed.
