Has Dwyane Wade purchased his Chicago dream house as a prelude to signing a free agent contract with the Bulls next summer?
Which is about where the Bulls come in with an opening at shooting guard with Ben Gordon leaving as a free agent. The Bulls have a potential star at point guard in Derrick Rose, who is considered by other NBA players attractive to play with because he will give up the ball and also is the kind of threat who can occupy the defense. Plus, the Bulls have some young veterans in place who figure as good complementary pieces, like Luol Deng and Joakim Noah.
You can make the case that Wade could be a final piece, and what better place than back home in Chicago where Wade has been developing business interests and is the kind of major market endorsers prefer. Of course, it all puts pressure on the Bulls to have a good season since Wade certainly wouldn’t want to change teams to one where he might have less chance of succeeding.
And now Wade apparently is the owner of an impressive downtown property that would be convenient to come home to after a game at the United Center. The townhouses have private yards fronting the Chicago River along a promenade with a two-car garage and rooftop deck. The unit is about 3,900 square feet. Wade’s mother, Jolinda, has her own ministry as the Temple of Praise on South Halsted Street, which Wade purchased for her. The ChicagoMag.com report said Wade closed in June.
The big question is come next June what deal will Wade be looking to close on and where. We’re going to hear a lot more about this story.
Yes, we will hear a lot more about Wade perhaps coming to Chicago. Now he have his own house in Chicago. But right now this means nothing. We will see next year.
A backcourt of Rose and Wade would be good.
