Dave Hyde Reacts to Pat Riley and Dolphins Draft

Dave Hyde joins the show to react to Pat Riley’s end-of-season press conference, saying he was surprised anyone thought Riley might step away. He discusses how the Heat remain an outlier in today’s NBA by refusing to tank, and why landing a star this summer—without moving Bam Adebayo—is crucial, noting Bam is exactly the kind of player that would attract top talent to Miami. Hyde also dives into the inner workings of the organization, from Riley’s relationship with Mickey and Nick Arison to his dynamic with Erik Spoelstra and Andy Elisburg, including the debate over pairing Bam with Kel’el Ware. Plus, the conversation shifts to the Dolphins, as Hyde shares his surprise at Miami passing on Rueben Bain for Kadyn Proctor—while acknowledging Proctor could still develop into a strong player.
