WADE WAIT: If there is to be a Dwyane Wade buyout from the Chicago Bulls it likely will come closer to the start of the season, if even then. In a media session during the Las Vegas summer league, Bulls General Manager Gar Forman said he has not had buyout discussions with Wade, with Wade due $23.8 million this season on the final year of the two-year contract he signed when he left the Heat last summer. Before that, Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg cast Wade as somewhat of a Udonis Haslem for the Bulls. "Dwyane is going to have an important role on this team, with having a mentor," Hoiberg said. "He's going to obviously play for us and hopefully play well and take the role of leadership, which is a very important one." With the NBA moving up this season's trading deadline to Feb. 8 it will allow more time for teams to then sort out buyouts. Players must be waived by March 1 in order to be playoff eligible for other teams.
