Riley Disappointed He Couldn't Land Mike Miller

Pat Riley is disappointed that the Heat's extensive efforts to land Grizzlies' guard/forward Mike Miller at the trade deadline came up with nothing, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel is reporting.

"It was really hard for me," Riley said before Saturday's game against the 76ers. "I'm one of those guys, I keep anteing up. I'll tell the guy to tell me exactly what you want."

"I said, 'Put it out there. Tell me exactly what you want. Give me your dream deal.' I could never get them to give me the dream deal. I don't think, at the very end, they wanted to do it."

According to the report, Miami even agreed to take on the additional two years, at $14 million total, of seldom-used Memphis forward Brian Cardinal for the expiring contracts of guard Jason Williams and forward Ricky Davis.
