Dwyane Wade is the last household name standing in the Bulls' locker room, but it sounds like he might be gone from Chicago before the regular season tips off.

The Bulls are expected to reach a buyout agreement with Wade in the coming months. According to multiple reports, LeBron James’ camp expects Wade to end up with the Cavaliers if that happens. Two other teams may also be in the Wade sweepstakes.
The Miami Herald reported the Lakers and Heat are also in the mix for Wade's services if he reaches a buyout of his $23.8 million contract next season.
While the young Lakers are far from being contenders, Los Angeles is a preferred destination for most star athletes, while some of Wade's family has already moved back to Miami, where he won three NBA titles with the Heat.
I can officially confirm that Dwyane Wade's kids are back at school in S. Florida, no longer in Chicago.

The Cavs are still be the favorite to land Wade, who would reunite with James and create a formidable backcourt with Isaiah Thomas and Derrick Rose in Cleveland.
Wade averaged 18.3 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.8 assists in 60 games last season, playing 29.9 minutes per game. That scoring output in his first season in Chicago was his worst since his rookie 2003-04 campaign with the Heat, and his 43.4 percent shooting from the field was a career low.
