When Pat Riley made his move this off season, he knew it was going to be big. Big like drafting Magic to bring "Showtime" to its  fruition. Big like drafting Dwayne Wade, adding undrafted Udonis Haslem, Shaq and the Glove on his way to adding a fifth ring to his hand as a coach. Pat Riley' past big moves lead to championships, his most recent move will do the same, but no one thought it might come this year.

The buzz in Miami after last season was not good. Dwayne Wade Miami' MVP was being used and abused for most of the season as the only option, much like Lebron was being used in Cleveland, except our owner has class, lol. We knew change was on the way after a first round lose to Chicago and no one wanted to loose Wade, period. So the Heat had to get him some help. Fans were frustrated and the buzz on the radio was that Wade was leaving to Chicago. That he was joining Lebron in NY, that he and Boozer were joining Rose in Chicago, etc, etc,etc. Pat Riley was cool, collected, and stand offish most of the off season, but Heat fans knew he had something up his sleeve. With plenty of cap space and a network second to none in the NBA, Riley set out to make his move and came through for Miami once again.

Now that the Heat is in a good position to contend for a title. He has one more move to add to an ailing Heat front court, he is working out former Knick Eddy Curry a 7 footer with a defensive and rebounding mind set. The deadline for Curry to sign and be eligible for the playoffs is April 13th. The addition of Curry who has been hurt in the last couple of years can be one of those moves that propel the Heat to another ring and Riley to his seventh ring and first as team president, maybe one for each finger.

Thank you Pat Riley, for the most exciting season as a Heat fan.

Nothing but net!
