Dwyane Wade Says He’ll Talk With LeBron James, Joe Johnson About Free Agency

Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Joe Johnson have something in common, other than the fact that they've all been eliminated from the postseason.

They'll all be free agents this summer (you may have heard), and where they end up will have a tremendous impact on the NBA for years — especially if two of them become teammates.

According to Wade, the superstars won't be keeping secrets from each other when it comes to their futures.

"We've discussed it prematurely, at different times," Wade told the Chicago Tribune. "[But] you don't know what guys are thinking and where they're going. I think we'll all sit down, and before one of us makes a decision, all of us will have spoken to each other and [heard the] thinking. A lot of decisions [will be based on] what other players are willing to do and what other guys want to do. So it's not just a 'me' situation here. We all have to look and see what each other is thinking."

Wade, a Chicago native, expressed some concerns about joining his hometown Bulls.

"I think the biggest question that you think about has to be loyalty," Wade told the newspaper. "I know one thing about Miami: It is a very loyal organization. I see what they do with their players when their players get done with the game of basketball … how loyal they are. I don't know about the Bulls. I see Michael Jordan is not there, Scottie Pippen is not there. … You know, these guys are not a part … That is probably one of the biggest things for me, because I am a very loyal person."
