Dwyane Wade says that his relationship with Heat president Pat Riley is fine, despite the lack of a long-term commitment from either side.

Riley says that Miami needs a commitment from Wade before the club begins putting pieces around him, while Wade wants to see that the team is set up to contend before signing on the dotted line.

"Coach Riley opened up the wound when he said, 'Until Dwyane signs back, we can't do anything,' " Wade told the Miami Herald on Thursday. "But me and Pat Riley are not against each other. We both want the same thing. We're just in two different positions."

most likely, this is nothing.

but wade may be the easier one to recruit to ny. the only problem is that his prime years are gonna be much smaller than lebron's. he's 27 and continuously banged up. i can see why he's putting pressure on riley to do something b/c he may not have as much time as others.

Wade has already said a few times that he does not want to play in N.Y.

5 years of WADE in his prime is good with me.

i don't take it too much to heart. What's he going to say... "I wanna play in NY?"

We shall see when contracts and personal, etc get sorted next summer.

''Is it a possibility me and LeBron will play together? It's always a possibility,'' Wade said after the Heat's practice Tuesday at AmericanAirlines Arena. ``We're both free agents. Is it a possibility I'm going to New York? That's not a possibility in my mind.''

Miami Herald
And that is just one quote that I was able to find. He has said things like this more than once. Remember when he was asked another time he said referring to Lebron, "If that's is his plan that's not mine."

No, but like every smart player that has to answer that same question he could say, "I will keep my options open" or "I am not even thinking about that right now" Look at Lebron responses and look at Wade's response to the Knicks questions.

You would think that of all the sports guys who cover DWADE, one of them would have the guts to ask him why he won't come to NYC. Seriously, as fans in the largest market in the entire sport, you would think that even a Miami reporter would be smart enough to ask about more NYC related-details so all us NYers click and read his article.

I hear you, but it's not just reading quotes. I saw the clip when he was speaking and Wade's whole attitude about coming to New York was like,"F out of here" That being said, as much as we love New York not every player feels the same way. Remember Shaq always said he hated the weather and the traffic. lol We will see if Wade starts the "I love New York Wave" next summer. I think Wades chances of coming to New York are a lot less than Lebron's chances of coming here.

I don't think the print media posts player comments in articles like "I will keep my options open" or "I am not even thinking about that right now" because they are too boring, and I am pretty sure that Wade says them all the time. It's the "I'm not coming to NY" comments that are out of norm that get printed, and those could have even been a slip of tongue or an exacerbated reply to a reporter that just asked him 50 times in a row if he was coming to NY to play ball.

What about his comments that he only wants to play for a contender and not just a team that can make the playoffs. My preference is for Wade over Lebron just because he been there and done that. I think the fact that he already played with a superstar and was able to make it work should be taken into consideration. We don't know if Lebron is capable of doing this yet.

The media have printed and shown a clip when Lebron has answered those questions. Even if Lebron smiles or one of his friends wears a Yankee hat the media makes a story. If Wade said, "I am keeping my options open" The media would have printed, "Wade has not ruled out New York." like they have many other players. That's their job to make something boring seem exciting. They are the modern day wizards.

Good points. I think not having another superstar or a player taking less money will be the reason some players my caution coming to New York. Walsh does have time before next summer to make things right.

lmao. Talk about being in denial.

Have any of you been to Miami? Wade is never leaving.
