Pat Riley’s statements that Miami Heat fans won’t like

It seems that the years have passed when Miami Heat, regardless of their roster level, could compete head-to-head with any team in the postseason. The NBA Playoffs 2025 were evidence of this, with a resounding sweep they suffered against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

If it weren’t for the play-in, the Heat would have said goodbye to the season in the Regular Season, finishing 10th in the Eastern Conference. And the worst part is that it seems to be a long road ahead. At least that’s what Pat Riley, the franchise’s president, hinted at.

“We need to make philosophical and even personnel changes. We probably won’t be competing again. Players won’t just magically appear. Trades need to be made,” Riley said.

“We’re looking for something that will truly help this team. It could take years. [But] we’re not dealing with a long process, nor is ownership,” concluded the Miami president, who also confirms that Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro will continue to be the leaders.
