Updated 8 p.m. ET: The Chicago Bulls are trying to unload players to make room to sign Dwyane Wade, The Vertical's Adrian Wojnarowski reports.

Updated 2:45 p.m. ET: Disgruntled free agent Dwyane Wade is expected to hear from multiple suitors today, including one that was off the table just yesterday.

He also will get another meeting with the Miami Heat.

According to The Vertical, Wade formally met with the Denver Nuggets — who were expected to have a two-year, $52 million offer in hand.

And after it reportedly had been scrapped, a meeting with the Milwaukee Bucks also was back on the table. Wade played his college ball at nearby Marquette.

The Chicago Bulls, his hometown team, also had planned to make their pitch to Wade, but circumstances didn't cooperate.

Wade's contract negotiations with the Heat have taken a contentious turn this offseason, with the star guard appearing to be miffed at the team focusing more on re-signing Hassan Whiteside and pitching Kevin Durant than working on a new deal for him. 

According to Yahoo's Adrian Wojnarowski, however, Heat owner Micky Arison will meet with Wade one-on-one on Wednesday in a last-ditch effort to salvage the situation.

The Heat's most recent offer is said to be two years at $20 million per, but Wade is reportedly seeking at least $50 million after taking pay cuts in the past to help the team fill out the lineup.

There were rumblings on Tuesday about LeBron James potentially trying to sway Wade into joining him in Cleveland, but later reports contended that was not the case.
