Wade on Riley: "I dealt with Micky Arison, my contracts the last two years. He didn’t sit at the table. He didn’t call or email or text."

Wade also clarified that the Bulls would not be his team.

Wade: "We’re not gonna go through this all year. It’s Jimmy Butler’s team.”

Riley definitely isn’t happy with how things ended, but Wade is, at least outwardly, not holding a grudge.
