Dwyane Wade and Udonis Haslem will become free agents on July 1, the Miami Heat said Saturday, and now, the Heat are waiting to see what Chris Bosh does.

If Bosh opts out and becomes a free agent, the pieces are falling into place for the Heat to retain Wade, Bosh and LeBron James and give the Heat financial flexibility to make roster improvements.

Bosh has not made a decision, his agent, Henry Thomas, said, and Bosh has until midnight Monday to utilize the early termination option. Thomas also represents Wade and Haslem.

"Dwyane has been the cornerstone of our organization for over a decade, and we hope he remains a part of the Heat family for life," Miami president Pat Riley said in a statement. "Udonis has been the heartbeat of this team for 11 years. He has sacrificed countless times to make this organization successful, and he is the epitome of what this organization stands for. We look forward to meeting with Dwyane and Udonis and their agent in the coming days to discuss our future together."
