Speaking recently on WQAM, Miami Heat President Pat Riley addressed the Heat's need at the center position due to only having Joel Anthony and Dexter Pittman under contract at the position.


"We definitely are going to continue to look for somebody in that spot, but unless there's an injury, we really don't need a center....We signed Chris, basically, in my mind, fully in my mind, not in the back of my mind, he was probably going to be our center in critical situations," Riley said on the Joe Rose Show. "And, so, Chris Bosh is a power forward, he's a Tim Duncan-type player, but when you watch the San Antonio Spurs play, Tim is in the middle. That's all there is to it.....We're limited somewhat, because of slots, and not payroll, but we can only sign guys to minimums or I'm going to have to trade players to try to find a guy like that"
