Another Move Could Be Coming?

Pat Riley could have something else brewing before Thursday’s trade deadline.

“We’re going to continue to talk to people,” he said during Friday’s conference call on the Jermaine O’Neal trade. “There are a lot of other opportunities out there.”

But it doesn’t seem to be a big move Riley is contemplating.

“There are a lot of opportunities for smaller deals you might be able to make to fortify your team,” he said.

—Riley said the team would look at add a third point guard now that Marcus Banks has been traded.

“I think we have to address that,” Riley said.

One possibility is bringing back Shaun Livingston, who was traded to Memphis in January and then cut by the Grizzlies. Livingston is in Miami (at least he was last week) but his signing might not provide immediate help considering his knee doesn’t allow heavy minutes. Source: The Palm Beach Post
