Pat Riley began his season-closing news conference by telling assembled reporters that he was "pissed." The Miami Heat president kept the hits coming from there.

During a session that reportedly lasted nearly an hour, Riley — the man who recruited LeBron James and Chris Bosh to Florida to team with Dwyane Wade in the summer of 2010, the man who built the Heat teams that have represented the Eastern Conference in the last four NBA Finals and won back-to-back titles in 2011-12 and 2012-13, and the man whose job it will be to revamp the Heat following a five-game beatdown at the hands of the San Antonio Spurs — addressed the sentiment, shared by some, that Miami might need a makeover after falling to 2-2 in the Finals since the "Big Three" came together....

He addressed concerns that James, Bosh and Wade, who have all met with Riley over the past two days, will exercise the early termination options in their contracts to become free agents this summer, possibly ending the superteam era after four seasons. He addressed — without naming any names — rumors that Heat brass are considering options that would allow the team to not only retain their three stars, but add a fourth in the form of Carmelo Anthony, the New York Knicks' All-Star forward who has said he intends to exercise his early termination option and test free agency this summer.

"That's a pipe dream," Riley said, echoing the note struck by James and Wade before Game 4 of the Finals. "But everybody thought 2010 was a pipe dream, too. I don't harbor that thought. That's not where we are headed. That's not what we're thinking about."
