Great job by Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, speaking with Heat owner Micky Arison. Amongst other things, Mr. Arison says "If a player you would be targeting became available in 2009, why wouldn't you do it? We have not historically been a very patient organization. We're an organization that moves quickly. If the opportunity came along, we would consider it. If something becomes available that would make us significantly better, we'll look at it."
Translation: It's looking more likely that Michael Beasley should find his passport.
One thing sticks out from my first interview with Micky Arison. I asked him what impresses him the most about Pat Riley. He said "Pat wants to win more than anybody, except for ME."
So while Pat Riley has and always will get free reign to alter the roster however he chooses, it certainly helps trigger his impatient sensibilities if the man who signs his checks also is in favor of a big move NOW.
