MIAMI (AP) -- Chris Bosh wants to contend for a championship. Dwyane Wade
wants some star-powered help.

The simplest solution, apparently, was for them to team up in Miami.

A person with knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press on
Wednesday that Bosh decided to join the Heat and play alongside Wade, another
All-Star free agent. Bosh told Wade it was "definite," says the person who
spoke on condition of anonymity because no contracts had been signed and no
one authorized the person to reveal the decision publicly.

Still unclear, however, is this: Whether Miami's acquisition of Bosh will
come through a simple free-agent signing or a sign-and-trade deal with the
Toronto Raptors.

ESPN first reported Bosh's decision.

TNT's David Aldridge reports that as of Tuesday evening, Bosh officially
eliminated the Cleveland Cavaliers from his list of potential destinations in
any kind of sign-and-trade deal.

Bosh and Wade are friends, were Olympic teammates on the gold-medal team in
Beijing, dined together at times during the free-agent interview process last
week in Chicago and were part of that star-studded draft class in 2003 - Bosh
went fourth, Wade fifth.

Now all eyes turn to the No. 1 pick in that class, LeBron James. The two-time
MVP plans to say which team he'll play for next on ESPN Thursday night.

Bosh, Wade and James have talked about playing together. If that plan is to
be truly hatched, it would have to happen in Miami.

Henry Thomas, the agent for both Bosh and Wade, did not return calls or
e-mails early Wednesday from the AP. Calls to Wade and two representatives
for the 2006 NBA finals MVP also were not returned.

Bosh and Wade could formally become teammates as soon as Thursday, when the
NBA moratorium on signing contracts expires. Under NBA rules, the Heat cannot
confirm any contracts until 12:01 a.m. Thursday, although players are allowed
to agree to deals before the signing window opens.

"I have nothing official from anyone," Raptors general manager Bryan
Colangelo said in a text message to the AP.

The Raptors do have several sign-and-trade options from teams interested in
acquiring Bosh, who averaged career-bests of 24.0 points and 10.8 rebounds
last season for Toronto.

Wade said when free agency began that he would likely only stay in Miami if
the Heat lured either Bosh or LeBron James to South Florida.

Miami came into the free-agent period with around $44 million of cap space,
not including $16 million or so earmarked for Wade, thanks to years of
avoiding just about any deal where money would have been committed for the
2010-11 season.

"We want to build a dynasty," Heat president Pat Riley had told fans entering
free agency.

Bosh and Wade would be a pretty good start.

The Heat lack the salary-cap space to give Bosh, Wade and James all the
maximum amounts they would be entitled to receive in their next contracts, so
what would likely happen -- again, if the scenario came together -- was each
player agreeing to take a bit less in base salary for 2010-11. If that
happens, then they would probably receive contracts allowing them to become
free agents again in three years if they wanted.

Miami does have the room to give Bosh and Wade max deals, although would
still have to do some bargain-shopping to fill its roster for the coming
year. As of Wednesday morning, Miami had only Michael Beasley and Mario
Chalmers under contract for 2010-11.

The expectation around the Heat for months - for years, really - was that
Wade would have a flirtation with free agency, then return to Miami for a
six-year contract that could have been worth around $125 million, maybe a bit
more or less depending on what the salary cap number for the coming 2010-11
season is.

Wade fed that assumption, saying countless times that he wanted to stay in
Miami if the roster was upgraded to a championship-contending level. That
rather ambiguous caveat took a more exact shape in recent days, and the Heat
were clearly on edge when Wade took two meetings with the Chicago Bulls, his
hometown team.

Days later, Wade will be apparently able to say he got what he wanted all
along.
