Would you agree that the reason Riley hasn't bailed on Miami(again) is because he's worried about his image?

If he was worried about his image, he would have already gotten out of there.

Riley is just waiting to see where the ping-pong balls fall and how the free agent market shapes up to be. If things look favorable for the Heat he'll probably stick around for a year - until Shaq and Wade both go out with injuries next year - if things aren't looking so hot he'll probably just quit at the end of the season.

The future for Miami is really bright...2008 pick+fa signee+shaq+wade in 2010 they may even get bron.

I really don't think Riley's going to be that patient. He probably won't be able to stick around for another season of how they're playing now.

Riley isnt good with young rebuilding teams. hes good at championship caliber teams. shaq should just call it a season and allow the heat to get a chance at a higher pick. if all the good kids come out this year the heat could get a top 5 pick and really add something nice for the future with wade.

with the pick, wade will already have more help for the future than lebron and therefore be better off. the 08 pick is HUGE for the team.
