While LeBron James avoided speaking to the media after Friday morning's shootaround, Dwyane Wade told reporters he initially was able to envision LeBron James signing with New York.

“Maybe when I first heard it, from everybody in New York that thought they had him here, I was like, ‘OK, maybe. Maybe it’s possible,”’ Wade said. “With the big stage, I know he likes the big stage, the big city. Of course, if you’re a star in New York, you’re a worldwide star, but after a while it was a lot of possibilities.”

Wade, however, didn't think the Knicks had much interest in signing him during the offseason.

“I don’t think they really wanted me here anyway,” Wade said.
