Offseason moves for the Miami Heat: With up to $27 million in cap space, changes are coming

After the loss to the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Finals last October, Miami Heat president Pat Riley made it clear that change was not coming.

"I think we'll stay the course with our picks, stay the course with our young players," Riley told the media at the time.
