Heat owner Micky Arison is hopeful that superstar Dwyane Wade will re-sign with the club.

"The bottom line is he has publicly and privately said that this is where he wants to be," Arison said.

"I believe him. I'm 95 percent sure that he would be here next year. You can never be 100."

Arison added that he also respects the sense of unfulfilled expectations around this season's team.

"We haven't played well at home, and I think that has a lot to do with it," he said.
