Re: Ike Austin

I heard that too and it was Peter Vescey who made that idiotic remark
completely undermining Riley's efforts of trying to get Richmond. Ike or no
Ike, Miami's basic problem is lack-of-talent, they are a two player team
with a good complementary cast and anytime one of them is hurt they have a
tough time wining a game. Even last year, if New York had been at full
strength Miami would have gotten eliminated in the play-offs right there. I
think Riley is ready to break this team, specially expect him to trade
Mashburn for cap-room because he doesn't fit their offense and looks lost
most of the time. IMO Riley is not only a fine coach but an excellent
general manager, how soon people forget that the Heat's were nothing before
he came to the town. - Mishra
