Dwyane Wade

Dwyane Wade has a big decision to make on where he’ll sign this offseason. And before he makes his choice, he said he will talk it over with fellow big-ticket free agents LeBron James and Joe Johnson.

Wade told the Chicago Tribune that he is not sure when the three players will talk, but they have been discussing their futures informally for a while now.

“[Free agency] has been three years coming,” the Miami Heat superstar told the Tribune. “We’ve discussed it prematurely, at different times. [But] you don’t know what guys are thinking and where they’re going. I think we’ll all sit down, and before one of us makes a decision, all of us will have spoken to each other and [listened to the] thinking.”

Kendrick Perkins

The NBA has rescinded one of the two technical fouls assessed to Celtics center Kendrick Perkins in Boston’s loss to Orlando in Game 5.

This means that Perkins will be available to play in Friday’s Game 6.

The NBA took back the second of the two technicals, which occurred with 36.1 seconds remaining in the first half and resulted in Perkins’ automatic ejection.

Referee Eddie F. Rush tagged Perkins with the technical for arguing a foul call.

Zach Randolph

Memphis Grizzlies standout Zach Randolph has been implicated in an Indianapolis drug investigation.

A probable cause affidavit has a police informant indentifying Randolph as a major marijuana supplier in Indianapolis.

A stake out on a suspected drug house 2 weeks ago led to 32 year old Arthur Boyd being pulled over in a Cadillac Escalade. The vehicle had marijuana and ammunition inside, and was registered to Randolph.

Orlando Magic forward Rashard Lewis revealed today that he has been struggling in the Eastern Conference finals because he has been playing with a viral infection.

Lewis says he has been sick the “whole series” against the Boston Celtics.

“Overall it affects you,” he said after Orlando’s shootaround Wednesday.

Dwyane Wade

Dwyane Wade finally got his chance to play offense in his $25 million breach-of-contract trial.

The Miami Heat star spent about two hours Tuesday answering questions from his attorney, Michael Kreitzer, in the trial where two of Wade’s former business partners are suing for damages over a failed restaurant deal.

Wade stepped down later in the afternoon, having spent parts of three days on the witness stand.

In all, Wade was questioned for about seven hours by Richard Bales, the attorney for Mark Rodberg and Lauren Hollander, including a period of redirected questions Tuesday. Bales needed only about five minutes to finish his direct examination, at which point Kreitzer took over.
