Dwayne Wade to sign with Bulls

Free agent Dwyane Wade has committed to join the Chicago Bulls, according to AP.

"This was not an easy decision, but I feel I have made the right choice," Wade said in a letter released to The Associated Press on Wednesday.

"Watching the Bulls growing up inspired me at an early age to pursue my dream of becoming a basketball player," Wade wrote. "My most treasured memories were watching my dad play basketball on the courts of Fermi Elementary School and developing my game at the Blue Island Recreation Center. I have never forgotten where I came from, and I am thankful to have an opportunity to play for the team that first fueled my love of the game."

Wade has agreed to a two-year deal worth $47 million, according to the AP. The Miami Heat, Wade's team for his entire 13-year career, had a two-year, $40 million offer on the table for him.
