They already had the starting pieces in place.. You're not telling me
that Pat Riley didn't have a major assist.
If the Hornets didn't shop Alonzo Mourning for whatever would save them
money in the end AND The Warriors weren't idiotically stupid in trading
Tim Hardaway, they wouldn't have made it. He also made a bad trade with
Steve Smith going to Atlanta..

Pat Riley's made his roster moves opportunistically in Miami.
