Don't believe Wade is in Miami for life.
Yes, he has three years left on his extension, and no, the Heat isn't about to trade him. Not now, anyway. But no true star of the game -- which Wade had become -- has gone through anything like this. Ever. Stars flame out, and Wade's people know this. The public's memory is short. New stars evolve. Riley has a reputation around the NBA for wearing out his stars with his grueling practices and power game. Many believe his tactics shortened Patrick Ewing's career.
With Miami in such dire straits and Riley as competitive as ever, it's painful at times to see the exhaustion on Wade's face. He's starting to sit out some games, and the word is that his shoulder is worse than previously reported, which usually is shorthand for Wade being shut down for a long stretch or for the season. You figure Wade's advisers have to be considering that.

What do you think? Would you trade him? Could you trade him...? Or is he to valuble to lose? He's not Jordan, LeBron, or Kobe but you would think he'd be in Miami for life.
Although they mention some possiblities I just don't see him going anywhere. You'd think they'd try and get something back together once they get rid of shaq but you never know with Riley.
