“I want to be in Miami, and I hope everything works out that way,” Wade said Thursday. “I want to be one of those players that stays with one franchise for his entire career.”

Wade, along with LeBron James, Chris Bosh, Dirk Nowitzki and a slew of other marquee players, is likely to become a free agent in 2010, one the Knicks and several other N.B.A. teams will surely covet.

But earlier Thursday at the Izod Center in East Rutherford, N.J., where Wade took part in the filming of a movie, he sounded like a man who had no interest in shopping himself on the free market.

“Next year will be a big year for myself and for the team, but the plan has always been to stay with the Heat, and that’s still the plan,” he said. “I think everything will work out.”

“It’s a great system that Coach D’Antoni runs; it gives players a lot of free rein, a lot of freedom to utilize their skills,” Wade said. “I don’t want to say too many nice things about Coach D’Antoni’s style of play because every time I do, people take it as if I’m coming to the Knicks.

“But eventually, everything will even out around the league, and the Knicks will be back soon.”

They could surely return to prominence with the acquisition of a free agent, or two, though Wade is not likely to be among the hired help.
