MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — The usual summer of action and stress is winding down for the man loosely referenced as the Miami Heat’s version of The Godfather.
Pat Riley has a trip to his California home awaiting, followed by a vacation with his wife.
He can now relax a little.
The 2017-18 Miami Heat are going to look a lot like the 2016-17 Miami Heat, and the team president is just fine with that arrangement.
Riley said Monday he thinks bringing back now-former free agents Dion Waiters and James Johnson and signing them to four-year deals, combined with the surprise addition of Kelly Olynyk, gives Miami a real shot at picking up where it left off last season.
