Pat Riley spoke to the Miami Herald and South Florida Sun-Sentinel prior to the season opener, to explain the summer and look forward. And the fan base didn’t take it especially well. Ethan Skolnick and Alex Toledo discuss what Riley said, and maybe what he meant to say.

Thank you to the players, Spo, and the fans as well as the employees.
The Heat's front office was the only thing that didn't represent Heat culture.
Only players Tyler was in serious trade talks for was KD and Lillard. They are certainly NOT trying to get off his contract….and no, Harden is not coming😅 (tG)
Worst statement ever by Pat. What is an asset? You already loose 2 starters. Basically you are calling your bench guys assets. Assets are players that are contributing right now.
Bam for Embiid! Jimmy and Joel would be on a revenge tour
Pat has officially lost his mind. But we already knew that
Why are we forgetting the fact that beal wouldnt waive the no-trade. That was the sticking point
You know who would have gotten to 25 points per game? Lillard or Beal.
So the Heat couldn’t get rid of Duncan, Lowrys contracts for Beal?? SMFH
Pat and Mickey are full of crap. Whale hunting? Whale hunting requires spending money. Beal is 10x better than Herro and isn’t that much older than Bam. They should have pulled the trigger because they would not have had to give up all assets to get him. They would have likely been able to get off the Lowry contract as part of that. It’s annoying that with a team this close to a championship the front office is worried about money 3 to 4 years down the line.
We got dru smith that all that matter 😅
Isn't Bam due for an extension after this year ,so Emblid will probably be available after this year ,l think Bam would be on the table
If that's how Pat feels then he lied to Jimmy and the rest of us. Butler came here because he was told that Pat would bring in other STARS to help him. He's been here 5 YEARS now and the best Riley has given him was a 36 year old Lowry
Jimmy has probably 2 good years left and he wants a championship,if Tyler and Bam don't do it this year shop them both ,Emblid will be available , tired with the talk about them making all- star etc. How about winning a championship being the most important thing
It sounds like the “Abbys” is them prioritizing their developmental program over repeating the ‘trade most assets’ mindset that the Shaq and big three era required. They develop hoping to get a chip just to reach the top and expose these players that end up pulling too much money to keep so it’s back to square one on to the next developmental prospects rather then just throwing them all at a good player
Who cares what time do the lakers play?
The heat cant go back to the finals w/ those early injured players and keeping an oweful Drue Smith and an aging Kyle Lowry so better get James Harden now!!! 🔥🔥🔥
What he’s saying is they can get the the finals but they have to find a way to win they have to find the way to get to the other side everyone needs to step up their game especially Tyler & Bam
What Pat Riley means all the money they are paying Herro and Bam and don't get championship, he's gonna let them go, and get Jimmy Butler some real help, cause Jimmy Butler is doing his part and more!! FACTS 💯 I don't blame Pat Riley
