If you are a big name free agent that cares about stats, this is not the destination for you.

Re: Pat Riley
IIRC, we were the 6-8th seed for most of the season and dropped off towards the end. And I thought for sure we were at least a playoff team so, yeah, I think we underachieved. Am I wrong in thinking that?contract wrote:Spoiler:

You have legit criticisms, like people have with Riley, but answer me this: when was the last time the Dolphins were that good?Grumpy Heat Fan wrote:Spoiler:

Re: Pat Riley
I'm giving him and Spo this season before I make a decision. We don't have a star player others want to join and we never seem to have draft picks to build through the draft. There are a few options he may have to get rid of some of these bad contracts and or bring in someone with potential. So I'm going to wait. Everything doesn't have to happen this year, but I need to see one out of these three. 1. Free up some cap space for next offseason. 2. Acquire some draft picks 3. Pull in a star player or one with star potential.

We already have > $30 million in cap space available for next season ... if we want it.

Re: Pat Riley
One thing I will give Pat credit for is that there's no number of teams that he and his crew won't include in a trade. One of these days he's going to pull off a trade that involves all 30 NBA teams + Seattle.

Huh?? Most of my post is about the great stuff Riley does and did. The only things I questioned about him were his JJ and Dion deals being reactionary to 30-11, and his 1am press conference where he sounded like a drunk old man at the bar. I also said he should stick around as an advisor instead of as GM. I didn't ask for his head, sheesh.
That doesn't change, even though I think he did a good job here

I can't speak for the OP, but I don't believe in him, and haven't tasted any crow yet.
Every time Pat does ANYTHING, people rush to praise him, but we're no closer to a championship today than we were last week.

Re: Pat Riley
This trade can only be judged in 4 years, let's see we can pull off more moves to truly contend. I'm not sure Jimmy will age well enough to attract a second star, but we'll see.

Nice to see you're back Pat.

That's just patently false. First, we are closer to a championship. If things go right, we're a legitimate playoff team. Last year, the best we could hope for was being a borderline playoff team. If you're actually in the post season you're closer than if you're not in the post season. No reason we should miss this year unless Jimmy gets injured.
Second, Riley didn't make just one move, he made a flurry of them. He dumped Whiteside, sent Harkless and a heavily protected first to LA, and traded Josh for Jimmy and Meyers Leonard. He also drafted Herro and Okpala, both of whom I believe will be very good.
This offseason has been a homerun for Pat Riley so far...
