MIAMI -- Heat president Pat Riley says he reached out to Dwyane Wade?in an email in advance of Wades homecoming game at American Airlines Arena on Thursday night.I hope he got it, Riley said before the Heats 98-95 win over the Chicago Bulls, according to the South Florida Sun Sentinel. You know those guys changing phone numbers and e-mails ...Wade, who scored 13 points on 5-for-17 shooting in his first game at Miami as an opponent,?confirmed before the game that he received Rileys email but said he hadnt read it yet.I havent spoken to him since I got in the building, Wade said before the game. I did look at my emails today. I got emails from him. I havent had time to read them yet. Ill take time on the plane somewhere to read them. But Ill focus on basketball tonight. Theres nothing to squash [with Riley] in my eyes. Ive spoken through you guys, and hes heard me very loud and clear. Im just appreciative of Pat and what he helped me -- what we created together here in Miami. I have nothing to squash. Im looking to focus on the game and getting my team prepared to come out here tonight and try to play against a team thats ready to go. Ready to get after us. And we got to be prepared.On Wednesday, Wade said he hadnt spoken to Riley since last season ended. After contract negotiations broke down over the summer, Wade decided to sign a two-year, $47 million deal with the Bulls, which included a player option. While Wade has talked openly about the homecoming he always wanted in Chicago, many around the league feel as though he wanted to stick it to Riley, and the Bulls provided the best landing spot after Wades 13 seasons in Miami.Its been joyous, its been great, Wade said of his time in Chicago. You make a decision like I made because change is a part of what you want as well. And I was looking forward to a little change, a little different scenery, and I have that. And Im enjoying that. But when you come back here, obviously its the things that youre used to. Those things feel good as well.As Wade walked into the arena for the first time Thursday night, he was cheered by a group of arena workers. He smiled as a large group of cameras and media followed him toward the visiting locker room.Man, I guess the ones that come to mind are the championships, Wade said of his on-court memories in Miami. The one thing thats gonna be cool for me is, normally when we line up for the national anthem, the banners are behind me. This time, I get to look at what we accomplished from the opposite side. And thats gonna be pretty cool to see what we accomplished. Just the championships we won here.From my rookie year on, Ive got memories here, every moment, every game. Hitting my first game winner in the playoffs here. A lot of great memories. Got some bad ones, too. Ive had some injuries here, had some bad losses, but all good from a standpoint of how everything happened for my career here in 13 years. I wouldnt change it for the world. It was spectacular. ... When I was a kid, I couldnt have gotten on my knees and asked God for a better pro career and the start and the finish of it. So Im proud of it.
