But he added that the player "better be able to play." There's a corollary, due to the salary cap, especially if the Heat's Big Three don't opt out to clear a lot more room: The player better be willing to sacrifice. That may be a tough combination to find, which may have Riley turning to more thirty-somethings—guys such as Shawn Marion, Vince Carter and Caron Butler—to fill roster holes.

"The players that we decided [to add] over the last couple of years were in their prime and now they slipped out of their prime: Ray was off the charts as an athlete who was 37 years old," Riley said. "I still prefer the end-prime veteran who simply wants to move, come here, win a championship and can still have an impact on the team."

The question is how much the Heat can keep getting out of those guys who "get it."3. Ray Allen may choose to keep playing.But if he doesn't, he will retire at complete peace with his NBA career of 18 seasons."I was before I got to Boston, to be truthful," Allen said. "I never let whether I was going to win a championship affect how I was going to feel about how my career had gone. I wanted to be a winner. But if it never happened, I was content that I had championship habits and a work ethic that I could be happy with, and at peace with."Allen won one championship after Seattle traded him to Boston, and another after he left Boston for Miami as a free agent. The latter experience gave him greater perspective about all the factors that go into such a decision, and how the pubic will perceive it."Really, you're damned if you do, and you're damned if you don't," Allen said. "Because when you take less money, they still criticize you. And you go for money, they criticize you."

So what are the factors?"You have to make a decision that is going to allow you to be happy after you sign that contract," Allen said. "Because once you sign a contract, you never think about how much money is coming into your checking account or your savings account every single month. You just ask yourself, are you happy with the team that you signed with, are you happy with the city that you live in? Those are decisions that you have to live in, long-term. And more important, the guys you play with, do you like them, and are you happy with them? So it's a very calculated decision. If you leave one situation and go into another one, what exactly are you dealing with?"

And while Allen has clearly enjoyed his time in Miami—recently deciding to buy the house that he'd been renting—he downplayed the importance of a franchise's location.

"It's great because we get to live in great weather and this is an awesome city to live in, but for the most part, we don't partake in living in Miami the majority of the year because you are traveling and you're trying to stay off your feet," Allen said. "I played in Milwaukee, you know; it was cold, you didn't go outside. I played in Seattle; it rained a lot. So most of the cities in the NBA, at the end of the day, you do the same things consistently throughout. We do have the opportunity to go out and eat at night and be able to enjoy it on off days, but there are so many other things to consider."

For others, sure.For Allen, there's one more—whether to continue playing anywhere at all. Then, in the past decade, he has made Miami basketball matter nationally and internationally—to the point where it seems like, sometimes, no other team matters as much to the media.

The downside to that is that many would welcome the Heat's downfall.When Riley was asked about Wade on Thursday, he veered off into a riff about how no one on the Spurs faced the same heat for falling short in the 2013 NBA Finals as the stars on the Heat did after the '14 NBA Finals.

They weren’t perceived in any one way," Riley said. "Were [Manu] Ginobili and Kawhi Leonard perceived as chokers when they missed the free throws? No, they weren’t. Was [Gregg] Popovich taken to task when his best rebounder wasn’t on the court when Chris Bosh found it and gave it to Ray Allen? No. Was Tony Parker on the court at the end of Game 7? No, he was on the bench, because there was a substitution pattern.
