Pat Riley's latest mistake will further crush the Heat

Over the past few years, there's been one Achilles heel that has been quite evident for the Miami Heat and the way they conduct business. Heat president Pat Riley may have fallen victim to it once again, making a short-sighted move to salary dump Haywood Highsmith that will almost certainly cost the team at the NBA Trade Deadline.

Not only did the Heat have to attach an asset to get out from under Highsmith's contract (and to get under the luxury tax line), but they also cost themselves the opportunity to land an additional asset at the NBA Trade Deadline.
