Dwyane Wade says he and fellow free agents LeBron James and Joe Johnson will talk to each other before deciding where to sign, the Chicago Tribune reports.
"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 (listened to the) thinking," Wade said.
"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 (Miami) said he, James (Cleveland) and Johnson (Atlanta) have been planning for this offseason for three years.

A source told ESPN.com that Chris Bosh (Toronto) "will definitely be there." They all become free agents on July 1, with the Knicks and Nets among those interested.
"We've discussed it prematurely, at different times," Wade said. "(But) you don't know what guys are thinking and where they're going."
Wade, who won the NBA title alongside Shaquille O'Neal with the Heat, said he wouldn't mind playing with another superstar.
"I understand that you have to have a great team, a great supporting cast around you. That's all I want," he said. "My ego is not that big. … I just want to win."
Earlier this month, sources close to Bosh said he likely would sign with either the Bulls or the Knicks if James signed with either.
The Bulls are considered among the favorites to land James, the prize of the free agency class. Wade, from Chicago, downplayed his interest in returning home, questioning Bulls loyalty.
"I see Michael Jordan is not there, Scottie Pippen is not there. … You know, these guys are not a part," Wade said. "Things like that. So that is probably one of the biggest things for me, because I am a very loyal person."

This really puts this summer in perspective. You have to believe that we're at the top of the list in terms of destination. Either NY, Miami or Chicago. I really don't count the West coast since all the top guys are on the East Coast and who wants to go out there and deal with Kobe head up. I find this very encouraging that we're in the mix like this. Thank God they brought in H2O, Starks and have kept Herb, cuz since we don't have Ewing here it would look real bad in terms of loyalty if we didn't have ANY of our former players in the fold.

Wade trying to recruit free agents by talking down NY and Chicago. I see Amare/Bosh and possibly Joe Johnson landing in Florida.

Yeah, back in the day these guys were trying to rip each others heads off. Now they trade skin care secrets!!!!!

We treat willis, clyde and the old dudes like royalty in the organization. ALways have, always will.

Jordan could be a dick, and pippen was also. Our guys are always welcome and do come back to the Garden. Dolan is loyal to a fault MOSTLY. HE has had dumb moments.

What he wants to do behind the scenes should stay there. Why does he have to drag everyone in with this?

what a bunch of pansies...

there is no rule against chit chat

how about lame David Sterns getting in & fining $$$ the players FA's for tampering with each
other ?

Get Mark Cuban cigar to lead the posse and then suspend him from the Mavericks.

Them FA's would all come running to NewYork and see it ain't so bad then !

The NBA fan in me though believes 3 superstars are attempting to "fix" the NBA for the next decade. I mean, it's like they are deciding for themselves which franchises will thrive for the next 5-6 years and which teams will suffer as a result of gutting their teams to make such a play for a superstar....

It's kind of sad to be honest. But at the same time, these players are looking out for themselves and it's difficult to blame them for that.

LOL. Maybe they'll have their summit over a pedicure.

I point to NBA players just dont go to college anymore. The big stars are one and done and dont have a sense of school rivalry. When your in school for 3 years your around enough to tart hating rival schools and feeding into that intensity. Guys now just use the program for a year to improve their draft status. Once in the league its more a fun and party league. Sure they play hard but that animosity isnt there like it used to be, it just isnt.

Its definatly a players league.

More you read this stuff the more you have to think the Knicks are signing 2 max guys. Not only do they have room, but they can spend after that. The Knicks won bat an eye if they have an $85mm payroll so long as they are making deep playoff runs and winning 55 a year.
