re: Why is everyone praising Pat Riley?

2 Reasons:
1. Miami, if healthy, would be a very scary team. Probably not a title contender, but very good.
2. Timing
You can easily question the health factor, giving Dragic a 5 year max, and unloading an unprotected 2021 1st. But Riley won't be there in 6 years. They're going for broke at the tail end of the career of the best player in franchise history.
They capped themselves out with a proven, if somewhat diminished foundation. The Pels capped themselves out with just the idea of a foundation.

I agree that it's a good trade for the team to get better for right now, but I feel like he's not getting any flack for sacrificing the future for a non gauranteed player.
I see your point about going all in for wade, hadn't thought about that perspective.

Miami, if healthy, is nowhere near as good as the Pels when healthy.
