Lost in all this free agent signing and opting and what not is the fact that Dwyane Wade is all of sudden blogging for the Chicago Sun-Times. Wait, wait. Sorry. He's not blogging. He's diary-ing (which, as Eamonn points out, is similar to Mariotti's "mini-columns" in terms of incorrect nomenclature).

Nothing particularly spicy gets dropped in his first piece, but then again it's an Olympic Diary, so how intense can he get? Still, if Team USA experiences anything turmoil related, struggles or has any Real World scenarios, maybe we'll get lucky. Until then, finding out that LeBron is funny will have to do.

We have a team photo shoot Monday in New York and we did some kind of movie shoot in Vegas where we had to take it back to the early 70s with the poses we did. LeBron (James) was joking the whole time. We couldn't even stand in a straight line because LeBron was joking, Carmelo (Anthony) was joking and even Coach K (Mike Krzyzewski) cracked a couple of jokes.

[...]While I might be one of the funniest guys on this team, LeBron is by far the craziest guy on this team. With him, it doesn't matter, he will say anything. Carmelo is very silly. We keep J-Kidd (Jason Kidd) and Kobe (Bryant) young because we keep them laughing a lot.

Nevermind. He's clearly lying and foolish if he expects to believe that Coach K was being humorous and light hearted. Although I suppose they could have been dirty f-bomb related jokes told under his breath. (Just like in a game!)

And suddenly Kobe is needing to be kept "young". Wow. Doesn't that seem odd? Not as bizarre as Bron being the "craziest" guy on the Olympic team, mind you, but pretty freaking bizarre.

Oh yeah, and why the mess is Flash doing this for a Chicago newspaper and not a Miami area joint? Someone get Peter Vescey on the phone STAT! We've got reportin' to do!
