Pat Riley Admits He's "Floored" Dwyane Wade Left the Heat, Is Unsure of Chris Bosh's Return

It's been a cruel summer for Miami Heat fans after seeing undoubtedly the greatest player in franchise history, Dwyane Wade, leave the team to sign with the Bulls. D-Wade put in 13 years with the Heat and led the team to their three NBA titles, and now people are deeming team president Pat Riley as the culprit who couldn't keep the future Hall of Famer to remain in Miami and finish his career there.

After initially admitting he was "so sad" about D-Wade leaving earlier this month, Riley shared more lamentations about Wade in a press conference on Saturday. He admitted that the onus fell on him for not getting involved quickly enough during the contract negotiations, and he didn't nip the gridlock in the bud to keep him happy.

Riley said:

Hey, gotta learn to live with regrets. As for the last third of Miami's former Big 3, Chris Bosh returning to play for the Heat next season is still yet to be determined. Riley shed light on that pending issue concerning Bosh, who was also at odds with the team who disallowed him to play due to his recurring blood clot health condition that resurfaced last season.

Yoko Ono has been long theorized to have broken up The Beatles. After seeing LeBron go back home to Cleveland in the summer 2014, and D-Wade leaving, plus Bosh being benched with no said date to take the floor again, Riley is looking like the reason the Heat are breaking up right now. Not a good look.
