Pat Riley: 'I like our team'

[Reggie]

Bulls still need a SG

Rose
???
Butler
Aldridge
Noah

I assume they amnesty Boozer with Gibson and another big off the bench. Captain Kirk running the 2nd unit.

Very interesting.

Sign someone on the cheap for a year or two. Draft Tim Hardaway Jr. Glen Rice Jr. Jamaal Franklin or Ricky Ledo if one of them is available and hope they work out and end up as the starting two.

Ain't nobody beating tha Heat as long as Pat Riley up top and Lebron healthy.

Bulls and Pacers will give em' a tough time in tha playoffs as usual...but in tha

end they'll get sonned by Lebron.

Maybe you skipped this part



Had they lost, somebody would have been made the scapegoat. There's a good reason to believe that would've been Bosh.

Hes the only tradable asset they have

-Lebron isnt going anywhere (at least until 2014, IMO he stays here or goes back to Cleveland)

-Wade has 11 seasons in Miami, and in addition teams would be on the fence given his age and the knees

That only leaves Bosh

You know Riley never shows his hand. Him denying it actually is close to a guarantee that he's gonna make a move

• Remember when it was reported that we were talking to Toronto about getting Jermaine O'Neal?
  • Riley's response "absolutely not."
  • Trade went down EXACTLY 9 hours later
• When we were rumored to be getting Shaq.
  • Riley's response "Well he's a great player and people will always speculate about us making a deal because of my history with the Lakers and building around big men"
  • 2 days layer: Shaq has a parade in Miami
• Oh oh.. my favorite "There have have been some discussion but I'm sure they talk to every other team too so there are absolutely no guarantees. We love Mash"
  • NEXT FREAKIN DAY - Eddie Jones traded to Miami Head

I was pissed at that one as ya'll know Mashburn was one of my favorite Heat players ever

Even though Phil Jackson clearly has the edge in rings, Riley's success as an executive is one that has Phil

I miss the old Pat Riley who turned over the roster every few years. He's gotten too sentimental in his old age.
