A: Absolutely. Pat Riley did what he had to do Wednesday. But his indignation was about his player being mentioned as a possible trade chip, not a denial that he flat out would not trade him (not that it would have mattered if he would have said as much, anyway). And that's what you do. You stand by your players (unless, apparently, if you're working in New York). But just as Riley allowed Dwyane Wade to walk, he also is capable of making the difficult decisions, even the ones he would prefer to avoid on a personal basis. So who is actually available from the Heat? Everyone. And it will remain that way until the Heat have a championship roster (which is what made the LeBron James defection so unpalatable to Riley).
