The Raptors have discussed a sign-and-trade involving Chris Bosh with as many as eight teams.

Bryan Colangelo, however, has ruled out bringing back the expensive contract of Bulls forward Luol Deng.

Deng has four years and nearly $50 million left on his contract, and the Bulls have been dangling him as part of sign-and-trade possibilities involving Bosh, LeBron James and Joe Johnson.

Besides Chicago, Miami, New York and New Jersey, the Houston Rockets and Dallas Mavericks are determined suitors for Bosh.

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.

Chris Bosh won more playoff games during his senior year of high school than he has over the last eight years in both college and the NBA.

"It's been a long time since he had that championship feeling," said Bosh's agent, Henry Thomas. "He wants that."

The All-Star forward's decision as a free agent will hinge on where he feels he has the best chance to win a title.

"My only priority," Bosh said, "is winning."

Sources said the Raptors will try to acquire draft picks and young players in return for Chris Bosh.

They would likely ask for Michael Beasley and Mario Chalmers in any deal with the Miami Heat.

If Bosh were to go to the Chicago Bulls, the Raptors are interested in Taj Gibson and Joakim Noah, though Noah could prove impossible to pry from Chicago.

If Bosh settles on the Knicks, the Raptors would try to engage in a double sign-and-trade that sends Knicks forward David Lee to Toronto.

Sources called a potential sign-and-trade with the Los Angeles Lakers ?doubtful.?

Shortly after midnight eastern on June 30th, Chris Bosh shared his excitement to become a free agent on his Twitter account.

"After all these years... Just 24 hrs left," wrote Bosh. "Wow. I'm getting anxious."

Bosh becomes an unrestricted free agent at midnight on July 1st.

A source close to Dwyane Wade confirmed that not only has the Heat superstar tried to recruit LeBron James and Chris Bosh to Miami, but the three have gone as far as to discuss sharing the Heat's available cap room.

The Heat may look to deal Michael Beasley to create even more salary-cap room.

According to the source, the three have agreed to consider to "split the money up" should they all decide to sign in Miami.

Wade's agent Henry Thomas, who also represents Chris Bosh, has said that Wade was not in Miami over the weekend as reported by ESPN.

"Dwyane was not in Miami this weekend," Thomas said. "That is untrue."

Thomas admitted that the players are in communication but emphatically denied that a summit occurred in South Florida over the weekend.

"I said when it first broke about that, that the guys would undoubtedly talk with each other, which they have. That's not a surprise to anyone," Thomas said. "But this meeting this weekend in Miami just did not take place. Dwyane was not in Miami this weekend."

Michael Wallace of the Miami Herald reports that Dwyane Wade was not in Miami this past weekend, which means he could not  have been present to attend a free-agent summit with LeBron James and Chris Bosh.

According to a report from ESPN, Wade, James and Bosh all met over the weekend to discuss the possibility of the three All-Stars signing together to play for the Heat.

Two of Wade's representatives said the Heat's free-agent-in-waiting spent the weekend in Chicago and that news about the summit is false.

Brian Windhorst of The Plain Dealer reports on his Twitter page that, according to a source, James was in New York over the weekend.

In response to his refuted report, Chris Broussard wrote that both he and partner Marc Stein had multiple sources who saw the players in question in Miami on Saturday.

Hedo Turkoglu has backed off in his desire to leave the Raptors, especially should they alter their playing style.

Toronto general manager Bryan Colangelo has admitted that it'll be harder to trade Turkoglu if Chris Bosh leaves in free agency.
