A: And that certainly would be a lovely narrative now, wouldn't it? Look, maybe this time it will be different, maybe James Johnson was speaking from the heart when he said during his exit interview with the media that he wants to make this work with the Heat going forward. And maybe Dion Waiters' words from The Players' Tribune truly will resonate when his agent sits down with Pat Riley. And if that happens, if the two agree to come in at a combined $20 million to $24 million for the Heat, then, with some subtle machinations (perhaps restructuring Wayne Ellington for more years instead of that $6.3 million player option), it would be possible for the Heat to bring back the entire gang and still at least add a mid-level type of addition. Look, Johnson's spoken words and Waiters' written words appear truly heartfelt. But money almost always talks loudest during free agency, just as it did with Deng.
