If I am a Heat fan I am not happy with this tweet. Is he going to have another melodramatic show or press conference where he puts a knife into the gut of the fan base of this or that team? I think something would have been leaked which hinted at his decision to stick with the Heat if that is what he was going to do.If I was him I would just put out a press release with my decision, especially if he is rejecting the Cavs once again. Probably won't happen, given the egos of NBA stars, but I think people would respect him more if he decided to go low key with his final decision, just as he has done so far during this process.
Heat fans? Oh ex Laker fans

Heard him a bit today. Seemed to think that James may be planning to go back to the Cavs. He and Ruocco also thought that Riley going to meet James in Vegas alone was significant, although they later reported that the Heat's cap expert was part of the meeting.
What would be nice is a video or photo of Riley coming out of the building where the meeting took place. Body language and facial expressions can tell a lot, especially if Riley was talking with someone as he left.
U think Riley will run away if he loses Lebron. Thats the thing that cockroach does

If James goes to the Cavs and Bosh to Houston, Riley is left with a broken down Wade, limited roster talent, and a bloody large amount of cap space.
At his age, does he want to rebuild slowly?
Does Miami have enough allure to attract the best free agents without the promise of playing with James?
How many Miami #1s does he still have to use?
If he was a younger man, and not Pat Riley, he could start taking on salary dump players packaged with #1 picks and build that way while fielding a lottery team on the floor, but can his pride allow him to do this after being "betrayed" by James/Bosh?
He is resourceful, though, and nothing has been finalized, so who knows what will happen.
