    We're going to cut right to the chase. Dwayne and Chris, Dwayne, we'll start with you. Where are you going to be playing next season? Well, I'm back in Miami, man. I'm back in, as for now, I'm back in Wade County. Back in Miami with the Heat. Chris, you want to jump in and tell us where you're going to be as well? Yeah, I'm joining Mr. Wade in Miami. Are these final decisions, guys? You don't have to sign until tomorrow. Is there wiggle room? Could somebody else come and steal you between now and then? Chris, you're fine. I'm fine. Yeah, I mean, I'm fine. I think we're both fine with the situation. We've wanted to play with each other, and we have a golden opportunity to do that. So we're going to take advantage of it. There's been so much talk about you guys playing together, but also with a third person, with LeBron James. Dwayne, I want to start with you on this. Reports about you guys talking with LeBron already, saying, hey, come on down here and join us. where do those discussions stand now and do you think you're gonna have them? Well, I mean, first of all, it no secret that myself and Chris and LeBron are all good friends You know we all came into this league together and you know play together but you know we all make our own decisions at the end of the day So of course we would you know love for LeBron you know to join Miami You know, who wouldn't? But at the same time, LeBron is going to make his own decision. And that's the decision that we all will be in front of the TV tomorrow to wait for. But, you know, this opportunity that me and Chris have to, you know, to team up and play together, you know, it's just an unbelievable opportunity for me to be able to play with someone of his caliber. I got an opportunity to play with Shaq, and that was just phenomenal. And I get to play with Chris right when he hit his prime. So right now, I'm one of the luckiest men in the NBA and in the world. Chris, you had the chance. Toronto was going to give you that chance to go to Cleveland, team with LeBron James, through a sign-in trade, which would have given you more upfront guaranteed money. Why did you turn down that deal? Well, I mean, I leave that for my agent, really. I really don't know the specifics in that conversation, but it was just about me and Dwayne talking at that time. I wasn't sure if LeBron was coming back, and I just wanted to leave that decision up to him. I wanted to choose the best situation for me and my family, and Miami was the best decision for me.
