Pat Riley: "No more smiling faces with hidden agendas" (Shots at LBJ)

[Kidbasketball20]

Miami Heat president Pat Riley took a thinly veiled shot at James on Monday, telling reporters there were "no more smiling faces with hidden agendas" in the Heat organization that could affect his approach to the draft and free agency this offseason.

teams constantly trade players whenever they want.
thankfully, most of the players have matured these days to know that it is strictly business.
Loyalty BS should be left to immature retarded sports fans who would quit their job the next day if they found a better job.

I love how Riley is mad that he got played the same way he played the knicks in the 90s.

So funny to see Riley still crying about LeBron doing what Riley offered him from the beginning......an opt out!!

Riley clearly doesn't have the guts to quit crying though

stop talking and let this squad ride out into the 2016 summer where our books become pretty empty. Bosh and McBob on the roster, and a new deal to allow big funds to be thrown at a superstar. if we do OK with a revived and injury-free (or as little injury as possible) Heat squad for next season, great...if we don't, make the 2016-17 season a statement when we can truly rely on the big contract deals from the 2016 summer

Riley sounds like a jilted ex. Move on already, grease ball.

Well said. Owners/GM's will uproot a player's home and family with no notice and ship him across the country for cash, then say its 'just business.' Yet if a player leaves of his own choosing under free agency, like he's entitled to do, he's a traitor. Double standard.

"Consider Riley's summer of 1995: after four largely successful years that saw the Knicks come to the brink of a title, the Knicks offered Riley the richest coaching contract in NBA history. Riley got a deal he liked better from Miami, though -- it included a slice of ownership, and total control of the basketball operation.

Riley resigned from the Knicks out of the blue, via fax. It was cold blooded and conniving enough that the Heat later had to send the Knicks $1 million and a first-round pick to get out of tampering charges.

I'd be mad too if my team was stuck with two "stars" who have fallen off tremendously in just the past 2-3 years.



The only good thing going for them right now is Whiteside.

[Trollsmasher]

Riley's been so fvcking mad the whole year

Just retire old man, you are a laughing stock of the league

The Heat IS your team, aren't they?

That's essentially how he left NY. He plays the game but when it comes back at him he's a sensitive little bitch about it.
