Sources: Bosh Will Join Wade In Miami

According to "credible" ESPN sources, free agents Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh will both sign with the Miami Heat. Both players are expected to announce their decisions later today.

It is not clear whether Bosh will join the Heat outright, or be part of a sign and trade deal with the Toronto Raptors. Bosh could earn $125 million over six years via sign-and-trade, but only $96 million over five without it. Leaving that kind of money on the table doesn't seem to be in Bosh's best interest, but he may decide playing with Wade in Miami is worth the salary cut.

This move gives Wade a credible big man in Miami similar to when Shaq joined the Heat in his prime and Miami went on to win a NBA Championship. Bosh doesn't have the physical presence around the basket that Shaq had, but he does have the touch and finesse in the paint to be one of the elite big men in the NBA.
