I want to win and I will do whatever it takes for me to win.Pat Riley was smiling like Cheshire Cat when asked where the Bucks champion ranks among the pantheon of Heat greats:Hes right at the top, Riley said. With any of the players that we brought in, Zo, Dwyane, Shaquille players of that ilk LeBron, Chris Bosh, Bam [Adebayo] one day is going to be there, Butler.But I just have a feeling that this guy is a little bit more unique in his body and his size and all of the things that he can do on the court. And were just very fortunate to be able to get him. And it took a lot to do that, but we accumulated picks and young players to do that. So we had enough in the package. It was a perfect time, and it usually takes a perfect time to make this kind of deal.Related Article: DeMarcus Cousins Warns Lakers Fans Could Turn on Luka DoncicA scary duo of Giannis and Bam Adebayo has now been created and Mimai coach Erik Spoelstra cant wait to unleash them.Theyre elite competitors, Spoelstra said.
