Warriors executive Jerry West called the Heat "absolutely" the best team now in the NBA.

"They've got two of the three best players in the NBA," West said of LeBron James and Dwyane Wade. "I think they can win numerous championships."

West doesn’t see Heat president Pat Riley moving on anytime soon.

"I was talking to Pat, and I told him, 'Don't walk away from something,'" West, the Hall of Famer who called Riley his "best friend," said Wednesday. "I would be shocked if he did (anytime soon). . . If I were him, I would stay there and watch them win championships."
