How I remember it as well, and, ironically, we helped Miami clear enough cap to sign him as well, getting Miami's first this year, which, we sent for PG.

But hey, Jimmy wanted Riley, he wasn't changing his mind



FTR we got the Miami pick in the Tobias Harris trade.

We also got another Miami 1st for taking Mo Harkless's contract, I think that might have been the one to help them make room for Jimmy?

Yup, that's the one I'm referring too, knew we had two, forgot where we got the second and wasn't sure.
