Wade opts out of pact

Dwyane Wade has made his choice. Chris Bosh is still mulling his.

Either way, free agency for the Miami Heat is shaping up as an absolute circus.

Wade told the Heat on Saturday that he is opting out of the final two years and nearly $42 million in his contract, and will become a free agent on Tuesday — the same decision that LeBron James revealed earlier in the week.

Also Saturday, Udonis Haslem told the Heat that he will not pick up his $4.6 million option for next season.

But Bosh is still weighing his options, agent Henry Thomas told The Associated Press, after a miscommunication earlier in the day suggested that the forward was already sold on the idea of opting out.

“Chris has not decided yet,” Thomas told AP early Saturday evening.

Heat President Pat Riley said, “Dwyane has been the cornerstone of our organization for over a decade, and we hope he remains a part of the Heat family for life.”
