Pat Riley, President of the Miami Heat, faced questions on Friday about the team's future following their disappointing playoff exit. After being swept by the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Heat finished 37-45, securing a play-in tournament spot. The tumultuous season included a contentious relationship with Jimmy Butler, leading to his trade to the Golden State Warriors. While acknowledging Butler's impact, Riley expressed no regrets about denying Butler's contract extension, emphasizing the need for a strong team dynamic.

Riley aims to build around Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo but hinted at roster changes, stating that the team 'probably won’t run it back' with the current lineup. Discussions are ongoing regarding a potential extension for Herro. Despite the recent losses, Riley is determined to improve the team's performance and remains committed to his role, stating, 'The new 80 is the new 60.' His competitive spirit drives him to continue working towards better results in the next season.
