Y'all ready for this?

It seems maybe July is relevant in determining which team will be the next NBA champion ... or not. (Remember when these things were won more on the floor, than in the agents' offices?)

Dave George updates us on the courting of Dwayne Wade/LeBron James/Chris Bosh ... Miami vs. Chicago vs. Cleveland:

For the first time, however, Wade seems a little torn about how this game should end. With all the pampering of being courted by the Heat and by the Bulls - the home team of his Chicago youth - comes some serious squeezing, too.

How much worth does Wade place on joining a Chicago team with enough talent for a sudden run at greatness, or a least a potentially quicker shot than Miami? If the answer isn't $30 million, he'll certainly stay with the Heat, who according to the rules of free agency can pay that much more over the life of a six-year contract than Chicago can offer over five.

Then there's the alpha-dog issue, a dominant NBA theme. Playing on the same team with LeBron would be great, but leaving Miami to do it would make it seem that Dwyane is just like everyone else in this scenario, granting the King's every wish.

Getting Chris Bosh to join forces with him, on the other hand, would prove Wade's power and enhance his championship hopes. Only problem is, LeBron simultaneously is using his considerable muscle to claim Bosh for his own team, whether that turns out to be the Cavaliers or somebody else.

Wade and Bosh have the same agent, who must be fairly dizzy by now, and all three of them have Pat Riley leaning in hard for answers. He's schooled in every post-up personnel move ever used in this league, and this week is probably inventing a few more.

ADDED: If you can't move to this...
