Initially, only a few media outlets said as much, but within just two days, a huge uproar had formed, demanding Pat Riley come out of retirement.
Pat Riley, a shrewd man, was well aware that someone was stirring up trouble.
As for who it was...
He only needed to wait.
Indeed, that evening, Wade and LeBron knocked on his office door.
When Wade entered, he seemed timid, occasionally glancing at LeBron beside him. Looking at LeBron, who appeared calm but dared not make eye contact with Pat Riley.
From that quick assessment, Pat Riley understood:
The idea was LeBron's, but Wade had been egged on by him, and Wade would be the one to speak next...
What a troublemaker!
Pat Riley's eyes narrowed.
It was then that Wade spoke, "Pat, Pat Riley, why don't you coach us? I think you're more experienced and could definitely bring out the best in all three of us."
After he finished speaking, Pat Riley didn't respond immediately, just continued to look at him.
