We'll get the first look at the Wade/LeBron/Bosh trio in Miami on October 5, 2010, when the pre-season tips off. If I know ESPN like I think I do, we might be able to expect it to be televised with a two hour pre-game show.
The Pistons will also play their annual game at Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids on October 13 against Dallas. The one surprise of the schedule is the off-site game in Toledo against John Wall and the Wizards. It's the first time in 21 years the Pistons have hosted a pre-season game in Toledo.
The full pre-season schedule is below (via Pistons.com):
