Dwyane Wade didn't break any tampering rules by saying he wants to talk with other marquee players before deciding whether he'll stay with the team, the league says.

Under NBA rules, players cannot tamper with other players, but their conversations are nearly impossible to regulate.

The league only hands out discipline in what it said are "the most egregious" cases.

The NBA league office will not discipline Dwyane Wade for his comments on Thursday.  

Wade said that he is planning to meet with the other top free agents to discuss their plans this summer.

The NBA would only intervene in "the most egregious" cases and said Wade's comments "do not meet that standard."

Dwyane Wade shed additional insight into his impending free agency Thursday when he told the Sun Sentinel that plans for himself and other major impending free agents could be determined in advance of the July 1 start of the NBA  negotiating period.

Wade repeated previous statements about getting together with other prime free agents before both the NBA's July 1 start of the negotiation period and the July 8 start of the signing period.

Such a meeting with LeBron James, Chris Bosh and Joe Johnson would therefore come before teams would be able to enter the process. Until July 1, teams only can have contact with impending free agents who finished the season on their rosters.

"I don't know the date," Wade said of the potential meeting. "LeBron went through a very tough loss, so you've got to give guys time to get over things and get their schedules clear. But before July 1st we'll know what we're going to do and hopefully it's somewhere quiet."

The summit could also include other free agent players such as Amare Stoudemire.

"We've all discussed that. We all, at time when our schedules clear up, before it's time to make a decision, we all talked about all of us," Wade said of the planned meeting. "We're all friends first of all.

"I'm sure a lot of us, when you sit down and everybody puts a list together of opportunities they have, I'm sure a lot of us have a couple of the same opportunities, the same teams they're looking at. So I'm sure there's going to be discussion."

Two hours later, Wade's agent Henry Thomas said that talk of an actual summit is overstated.

"There is no summit that has been planned before July 1 or anything like that," said Thomas, who also represents Bosh and works with the same agency that represents James.

There is good reason for Thomas to walk back Wade's talk of a summit.  Concerted action among free agents before July 1 could be against league rules since all of the players will still be under contract with their current teams until that date.

Chicago native Dwyane Wade said that he has been a fan of the Bulls for a long time.  But he questioned the loyalty of the organization to its players.

"I think the biggest question that you think about has to be loyalty," said Wade. "I know one thing about Miami: It is a very loyal organization. I see what they do with their players when their players get done with the game of basketball ... how loyal they are. I don't know about the Bulls."

Wade cited the the lack of involvement of the two best players in Chicago's history.

"I see Michael Jordan is not there, Scottie Pippen is not there. ... You know, these guys are not a part," Wade said. "Things like that. So that is probably one of the biggest things for me, because I am a very loyal person."

Coaching decisions do not appear to be high on Wade's list of priorities.

"I don't necessarily get into all the coaches stuff," Wade said. "I feel the coach is only as good as his players. There are some great, great coaches around who can squeeze a lot of life out of their players, like Jerry Sloan. Every year he proves that."

Wade also spoke about this summer's leading free-agents talking and coordinating among each other.

"(Free agency) has been three years coming," Wade said. "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."

Wade indicated that he, LeBron James and Joe Johnson will act in concert this summer.

"A lot of decisions (will be based on) what other players are willing to do and what other guys want to do. So it's not just a 'me' situation here. We all have to look and see what each other is thinking."

Wade is willing to share the court and the basketball with another great player.

"I understand that you have to have a great team, a great supporting cast around you. That's all I want," he said. "My ego is not that big. ... I just want to win."

Carlos Arroyo said the Heat has expressed an interest in re-signing him and that the interest is mutual.

Given Miami's salary cap situation, Arroyo would likely be signed for the veteran's minimum should he return.

The Heat have launched a web site in hopes that they'll be able to re-sign star Dwyane Wade this summer.

"We want to show Wade the love," the website says.

The site -- www.wewantwade.com -- was unveiled Thursday and provides tips to fans looking to help keep Wade in Miami.

The former league scoring champion will exercise his right to become a free agent and hit the market on July 1.

"I thought it was hilarious," Wade said. "But I appreciate it. I do, I really do."

In an interview with Sports Illustrated, Shaquille O'Neal talks about his time in Miami.

"I still don't know how we won that championship," said O'Neal.

That quote concluded with an expletive about how the constant that season was partying "every night in Miami."

The Miami Heat could be a suitor for Joe Johnson.

"That's a great situation -- you have to look at it,'' Johnson told The Miami Herald while discussing his options. "I'm not saying I'll go play with him or him. But being a free agent, you pay attention to everybody's salary cap, what everybody can do."

Two league sources said there is mutual interest between the Heat and Johnson.

Pat Riley's first priority will be to re-sign Dwyane Wade and then gauge the interest of LeBron James.

Raja Bell said Monday that he would welcome the opportunity to play for the Heat next season.

Bell, a free agent, was a guest on The Jorge Sedano Show on 790 The Ticket.

"I've talked a lot about it with my agent and my family," he said. "Miami is my first choice. If there would be any interest from the Heat I would give it a ponder. It's my home town."

Bell was raised in Miami and attended high schools there.

"I'm not gonna do all that," he said when asked if he'd make a pitch to Heat president Pat Riley.

"But I'll tell you like this, 'Pat, if you can use my services give me a call, I'm right around the corner, 36th and Biscayne. Give me a call.' "

Heat second-round pick Pat Beverley saw his Olympiakos team fall to FC Barcelona in the Euroleague title game on Sunday.

Beverly played 10 scoreless minutes for Olympiakos.

Miami's other second-round pick last season, forward Robert Dozier, has also completed a season in Greece.

Dozier averaged nine points in 28 appearances for VAP Kolossos.

Beverley and Dozier are expected to participate with the Heat's summer-league team in Las Vegas in July, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
