<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>With an eye toward a 2010 offseason that could include the free-agent likes of LeBron James, Chris Bosh, Kobe Bryant, Amare Stoudemire and his own Dwyane Wade, Heat President Pat Riley does not want to be caught short. If a max-money free agent should become available in 2010, Riley wants to have the cash sitting on the table. If Wade grows antsy over these next two seasons about the direction of the franchise, Riley wants to be able to mollify those concerns with a 2010 upgrade fund in reserve. Until then, if a free agent wants a Heat deal that extends beyond the end of the 2009-2010 season, he might as well look elsewhere.</div> South Florida Sun-Sentinel
