Brendan Haywood has meetings scheduled with the Mavericks, Cavaliers and Heat on Thursday, a league source said. Haywood will conduct the meetings in Charlotte, NC.

The Nuggets, Knicks, Bulls and Raptors also have interest, the source said.

Brian Windhorst reports that a double sign-and-trade involving Shaquille O'Neal could lead Haywood to Cleveland.

Dwyane Wade has told two associates that he is now focused on recruiting a big such as Chris Bosh, Amar'e Stoudemire or Carlos Boozer, which effectively ends his attempt to bring in LeBron James.

Wojnarowski reports that the Bulls are currently in the lead for LeBron, with the Heat, Nets and Cavaliers also 'in hot pursuit'.

The Heat will meet with Amar'e Stoudemire in Los Angeles right after midnight EST.

The Rockets and Cavaliers are also expected to reach out to Amar'e.

Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh will meet with teams on Friday in Chicago.

Earlier reports indicated that the two would meet with the Knicks in New York on Friday.  Instead the Knicks, as well as other teams courting the two stars, will fly into Chicago for meetings that same day.

Multiple general managers are expecting Chris Bosh to sign with the Heat, according to a report from Chad Ford.

Reports of an imminent sign-and-trade involving Chris Bosh going to the Heat have been denied by parties in both Miami and Toronto.

The Raptors reportedly have no interest in acquiring Michael Beasley or Mario Chalmers.

RealGM Note: Teams are not supposed to begin negotiating with free agents until after July 1st.

Earlier in the day an unnamed agent told the Sun-Sentinel that Bosh would be going to the Heat.

An agent representing several free agents expects the Heat to land Chris Bosh.

The Heat would have to work on a sign-and-trade to give Bosh a maximum level contract.

An executive of another team with considerable cap space said Wednesday he was unaware of any pending agreement involving Bosh.

The Heat would likely send Michael Beasley, Mario Chalmpers and Joel Anthony if the sides agreed on a sign-and-trade.

The Miami Herald is reporting that the Raptors are uninterested in taking back Miami's package.

RealGM Note: Though the agent in the Sun-Sentinel report was unnamed, Henry Thomas represents both Dwyane Wade and Bosh and he would be the only possible agent with direct knowledge of the situation.

The Heat have plans to meet with Amar'e Stoudemire on Thursday in Los Angeles as well as Carlos Boozer once free agency begins.

Miami president Pat Riley still hopes to land the trio of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.

"I don't see it happening," Bosh told the Miami Herald this past weekend.

"I don't even know how it would work. It sounds pie in the sky. Riley is known as a guy who is like a mastermind-type genius. He's probably having a vision one day. But who knows? I don't see it happening."

Larry Coon details just how much salary-cap space each of the teams have entering the free-agent market which officially opens at midnight on Thursday.

The following are best-case scenarios for each of the teams with the most projected cap room:

The Knicks could hold 2.06 max contracts.

The Nets could hold 2.00 max contracts.

The Bulls could hold 1.76 max contracts.

The Heat could hold 1.67 max contracts, even after the team signs its own free agent, Dwyane Wade, to a max contract.

The Clippers could hold 1.02 max contracts.

LeBron James already recruited one player to join him, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami, according to Frank Isola.

"He said, 'Would you be willing to take less to join Dream Team?'" the unidentified player told the New York Daily News. "He said his people were putting it together."

James will begin taking free agent meetings in Ohio.
