It was a somewhat hostile breakup between Miami and Butler, leaving the Heat with a weirdly put-together roster. But at his end of the year press conference, Heat president Pat Riley was unapologetic about how the entire situation with Butler went.

Heat president Pat Riley spoke with reporters at his end-of-season press conference on Friday and was asked about the state of the team. In response, he said "there's no doubt" changes will be made over the summer. He also said that the team is not afraid to make some "lateral trades" or pursue an "alpha" should one become available.

For the first time in over a year, Miami Heat President Pat Riley addressed the media at length on Friday at Kaseya Center, reflecting on the past season and touching on future thought.
