Pat Riley made a series of moves to signal a new direction towards a younger team. Does Bosh get in the way?
Pat Riley isn't much of a mourner.
Well, he apparently texted "SADDDDDDD!!!! SO saddddddd!" to the Miami Herald's Dan LeBatard after Dwyane Wade announced his intention to sign with the Chicago Bulls. And the degree to which Wade's exit was in Riley's mind from the beginning will be an unanswered question in Heat lore for years to come. (We have Stan Van Gundy's "resignation" as head coach in 2005-06 to "spend more time with his family" -- I don't think it was that orchestrated.
