I am not a pessimist. Those were Pat Riley's words late Thursday night after long hours in the draft-day war room. Maybe he was tired. Maybe this is nothing. Or maybe it's the first sign from the Heat's side of this drama that this business of keeping Dwyane Wade is going to take some major work. Because "I am not a pessimist" certainly isn't the same thing as "I'm optimistic." Riley was asked if he was "concerned at all" that Wade might leave. Here's the quote in full: "I'm not a pessimist when it comes to that, and we have a lot to offer here with all of our free agents. Not just with Dwyane, but Goran [Dragic] and [Luol Deng]. I think everyone knows that with the injuries we had last year, having the 10th pick in the draft. I don't think we're a 10th pick in the draft time with the kind of roster we can put together when healthy and contend in the East and I think players are aware of that. They want to win." And then... "Whatever I think today is really irrelevant. I want all of them to come back. I would really like to make a deal with all of these players and keep the team that we built last year together, and we'll find that out on July 1 and then we'll have eight or nine days to deal with it. Before that, it really is all speculation." - See more at:http://blogs.herald.com/miami_heat/...fears-that-dwyane-wade-might-leave-miami.html
