Riley said the trade didn’t have anything to do with the luxury tax, but the issue is that “roster spots are valuable, and we weren’t so sure someone could make our roster,” so better to have that spot available for a veteran.

– Riley said that center Justin Hamilton, the pick at No. 45, could go overseas. Miami is planning to bring back shot-blocker Jarvis Varnado, a former second-round pick, over from Europe, to play in summer league and possibly compete for a roster spot. Either way, don’t expect to see Hamilton in a Heat uniform this season.

– Riley said while Hamilton “is not an above-the-rim player,” :word: he “has quick feet, takes up space.” The comparison, because of shooting ability? Michael Doleac, who played on the Heat’s 2006 championship team. The Heat had Hamilton in for a workout, and Riley felt the LSU product was the “best big on the floor that day.” Riley said he would have traded the No. 45 pick if there wasn’t anyone he liked.

I don't see him coming. Noone turns down 12 million for 5 especially if they already got their ring.

He already has his ring so now he needs that last big check. I aint mad at him.
