Just when you thought Pat Riley was going to settle into Plan B and bring back the same Miami Heat team that finished the second half of last season 30-11, he turned to Plan C Thursday night.
In a surprising move, the Heat signed former Celtics center Kelly Olynyk, 26, to a four-year, $50 million deal and was in the midst of completing a trade with the Dallas Mavericks to free up more cap space to re-sign forward James Johnson and guard Wayne Ellington, a league source confirmed.
According to The Vertical, Miami will reportedly send forward Josh McRoberts (on the final year of a $6 million deal) and a second round pick to Dallas for center A.
