According to Yahoo! Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski, the Big Three are waiting on Riley to set up a scenario that will make the Heat a viable contender for the foreseeable future:

When free agency begins at 12:01am EST on Tuesday, the Heat will have approximately $55 million in cap space. While a good chunk of that will be dedicated to the superstar trio for potential re-signing, Riley should have some flexibility to begin adding impact talent to surround them with.
One problem could be the rumor surrounding LeBron's desire for a max contract. If he will only re-sign at $22.2 million per year, Wade and Bosh will have to take significant pay cuts in order to keep some space open for a top-level signing.
Chat Sports will have more on this developing story as additional information comes to light.
