Stephen A. Smith delivered some stark words about it being time for Pat Riley to be let go as the president of the Miami Heat.

The reason I'm bringing up there has to be a change in Miami is because you have to get people to want to come to Miami, and he's not that guy anymore, not that guy." Riley has been credited with turning the Heat into one of the most successful organizations in the league.

Some Heat fans have started to trace the downfall of the squad when Pat Riley's relationship with Jimmy Butler soured. Others even thought that the big boss in South Beach could have done more in surrounding Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo with better talent.
