Pat Riley's plan, by any sense of the word, is ambitious. He's not trying to land just one superstar free agent. He's trying to corner the market by landing all three. After spending a year moving contracts and trying to get far enough under the cap to afford three superstars, Riley put the last phase in motion on Thursday. Riley was in Chicago today where he met with Chris Bosh. The goal was to get a quick commitment from Bosh, and then turn that commitment into an agreement with Dwyane Wade. Once he locked up Wade and Bosh, he wanted to blow away LeBron James with those two commitments in a planned meeting with James in Cleveland on Friday. As of Thursday night, Riley is going to Cleveland without any commitments. Sources say that while the Bosh meeting went well, he has yet to agree to a deal with the Heat. Bosh has already met with the Rockets and Nets and has a planned meeting with the Bulls on Friday. Riley's inability to lock up Bosh for right away runs contrary to the loud rumblings all week that Bosh to the Heat was a virtual done deal. The consistent word for the past 48 hours was that Bosh wanted to get the process over quickly and that the Heat were his first choice. While that still may be the case, Thursday's events cast some haziness on the conventional wisdom. Riley has a back-up plan, he met with Amare Stoudemire early Thursday morning, but he left the meeting without making an offer to Stoudemire. http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/post/_/id/17501/heat-still-waiting-on-wade-and-bosh
