Pat Riley had one job in the 2014 NBA Draft: appease LeBron James. So the Heat traded No. 26, No. 55 and a future second for Charlotte's No. 24, Shabazz Napier.
Shabazz Napier to the Heat means LeBron James is staying in Miami
I think that’s what it means.
My favorite player in the draft! #Napier
— LeBron James (@KingJames) June 27, 2014 Mission accomplished. Now there’s no way LeBron can leave Miami. It would break Shabazz’s heart and force Riley to Hulk out. LeBron is staying.
