2. Is Dwyane Wade even coming to training camp?
This is one of the two hot debates surrounding the Bulls heading into camp next month. Dwyane Wade wants to keep playing basketball, but is he going to be doing that in Chicago and if so, how much longer will he?
There have been reports revolving around Wade in recent weeks and they range from Wade wants $20 million of the $23.8 million owed to him this season on his player option to the younger players on the Bulls roster have had it with Wade being a part of the organization. Many believe and have reported that Wade and the Bulls have not hardly talked to one another since the end of the season, let alone tried to get in the same ballpark in terms of a buyout payment.
All of it may be true. All of it may be false. Regardless, Wade is owed $23.8 million and he’s going to be paid some or all of that money one way or another. That means he’s coming to training camp, right? Not necessarily, but it’s probably what’s going to happen. It’s highly unlikely that Wade and the Bulls come to terms on a buyout so that Wade can play elsewhere this season before training camp, but stranger things have happened.
Wade will likely be at training camp, so here’s a follow-up question to ponder: how much longer will Wade be with the Bulls organization?
