Dwyane Wade Has Pat Riley’s Word
Earlier this week, a crazy rumor surfaced out of Chicago about Dwyane Wade possibly being on the trading block - with the implication being that the Heat and Bulls were discussing a deal involving the former Finals MVP.
It was a ridiculous suggestion then, and it remains that way today, and if you’re still having doubts, hear it from the horse’s mouth.
“The trade rumors circulating are simply rumors,” Wade said in a statement released by his publicist.
“My focus this summer has been to rehab and train for the Olympics and the upcoming season,” said Wade. “Coach Riley and I spoke earlier this week to address the media reports and we are on the same page — rebuilding this team to once again become contenders.”
Sorry, Bulls fans. Looks like your team is going to miss out on a superstar shooting guard for the second consecutive year. Better make good on that top draft pick.

I’m starting to think the Heat know something about D-Wades injuries that the rest of us don’t. And, of course, Pat Riley is not to be trusted.

Pat Riley once told me he was actually a Nigerian prince, and that his country was in a bit of financial trouble but he had this GREAT plan and if I just gave him 10,000 dollars, he could give me 1,00,000 dollars in less than a year! Still waiting…

Pat Riley will not trade Dwyane Wade unless he got LeBron, Kobe, or Dwight Howard. He hasn’t been the hi-flying dunkadelic superstar the last 2 seasons but he will be back. He’s 27 and will be in his prime for the next 4-5 seasons. He’s the building block of the team. They just need to rebuild and he’s their #1 option.

Pat Riley once told me 1 + 1 = 3 and I told him it was 1 and he got it wrong on his spelling test in grade 2 but then I told him to stop and he said stop what and I said stop writing tests wrong in grade 2 ok you’re almost in grade 3 and he said okay man but let me introduce you to Stan Van Gundy so I said ok sure and Stan Van Gundy said I wanna coach the Heat and Pat Riley said I wanna coach the Heat too so Stan Van Gundy went to Orlando to coach the Magics and then he was like yay we did better than the Miami Heat and then Pat Riley told me to cheer for both teams and then I was like wait I like the Houston Rockets and he then said sup and then I said whats up and then I got 100% on that same spelling and math and science test. See? Pat Riley does tell the truth sometimes.

Sorry Bulls. Second time in as many seasons that you’ve lost the oppurtunity to pull a trade for a player that could get you back to that elite level you guys had a few yrs. ago. Better pick up Beasly so that you have a talented big guy and might get you into the playoffs in the minorly competitive East. You still know that DWade wants to go back.
