Flash Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 It is widely assumed that LeBron James and Chris Bosh are the two marquee free agents Dwyane Wade wants the Heat to pursue starting July 1. The reality, though, is that Amare Stoudemire should be regarded as no less than an equal in this conversation. Given all the options and potential outcomes of LeBron's foray into free agency -- and Bosh's recent insistence during All-Star Weekend that he's in no rush to relocate just to be regarded as someone else's sidekick -- Stoudemire would appear to be the most signable of the three. One source close to the situation insisted this week that Wade and Stoudemire are closer than advertised as pals even though they haven't played together on Team USA since 2004. The source also said that Miami is indeed Stoudemire's first choice in free agency if he finally leaves the Suns this summer after being shopped by Phoenix at two successive trade deadlines.
