BREAKING NEWS: Chris Bosh to join Dwayne Wade with the Miami Heat


According to ESPN's NBA analyst Chris Broussard, Chris Bosh and Dwayne Wade are joining forces to play together for the Miami Heat. Both Wade and Bosh will announce their official decision later today.

Many thought that Bosh or Wade would end up playing with LeBron James, the most sought after free agent, in either Miami, New York, Chicago, New Jersey, or Los Angeles. However, it seems as thought James won't be playing with either Bosh or Wade now. James is has announced that he will make his decision Thursday night at 9 ET during a one-hour special on ESPN.

More from ESPN:
"It was not immediately clear whether Bosh will sign with Miami outright or join the Heat through a sign-and-trade deal. Bosh could earn $125 million over six years via sign-and-trade, but only $96 million over five without it.

"Either way, he's definitely going to Miami," the source said."

I think the team most affected by this move is the Cleveland Cavaliers. Yesterday, reports said that the Toronto Raptors, Bosh's now former team, were willing to do a sign-and-trade deal with Cleveland in which Toronto would sign Bosh and then trade him to Cleveland. However, according to reports, Bosh did not want to play in Cleveland. Cleveland is hoping to retain LeBron James. Since Bosh did not want to go to Cleveland, this might hurt the Cavs, and not make James want to return. At the beginning of the summer the three marquee players (Wade, Bosh & James) met to discuss their future together. It was known that they wanted to all play together and that at least one of them would have to be on the team that LeBron signs with. Now that both Bosh and Wade are off of the board, LeBron's decision is going to looming bigger.

Where could LeBron go? Can he team up with Derrick Rose in Chicago? Can he and Amare Stoudemire bring basketball back to the Big Apple? Will he go to New Jersey to play for his buddy Jay-Z? Or, by some act of a higher power, could he go to Miami? Will he stay home?

There you have it, two of the top free agents off of the board. Now we just have to see where the King goes...

Hey LeBron, here's a refreshing idea if you're having trouble with a decision....

"In New York,
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of,
Theres nothing you can’t do,
Now you’re in New York,
these streets will make you feel brand new,
Big lights will inspire you,
lets hear it for New York, New York, New York."
