Imagine Riley with an owner like Balmer or Ishba...

Would love to hear it. "Yeah I know the Heat owner has been the owner of a franchise that has made 7 finals since 2006 with 3 different cores but our guy just got into an altercation with this year's Finals MVP! Easy choice is to pick PHX, right Brad?"
Be real. Our success came due to Dwyane Wade and Pat Riley.
Mickey's biggest involvement is forcing Riley to dump players to avoid paying the tax, and to sell our draft picks for cash considerations. That's Mickey's contribution.
What if Riley could have been even MORE successful?
