Chris Bosh of the Toronto Raptors announced today that he would be joining returning Dwyane Wade to the Miami Heat starting the 2010-11 NBA season.

His announcement gave the Heat two of the top 3 free agents available today. The two are still awaiting on top free agent Lebron James’ decision. The three superstars were members of the vaunted NBA Draft Class of 2003 where James, Bosh and Wade were picked 1st, 4th and 5th respectively.

As early as 2006, they have already talked about playing together and in fact structured their last contracts just so the three of them will hit the open market at the same time in the 2010 free agency that came to known as The Summer of Lebron.

Rumors are strong that Lebron will play for the Knicks.

If he joins Wade and Bosh, it will instantly catapult Miami to championship contention and give the team one of the best trios in recent memory.

The King will make his monumental decision on a 1-hour special on July 8 at 9:00 PM on ESPN.

The basketball world awaits.
