Team President Pat Riley said the Heat is stacked with talent but needs more experience.

Finally emerging from obscurity to speak about his team, Riley said it would be foolish to believe the Heat is set for the future.

"We need a lot more work.  Let's not be na?ve here,? he said.  Riley went on to say that ?this team is flawed."

But Riley is optimistic that the core talent is there to build around, though it would be difficult to shed the contracts of Eddie Jones and Brian Grant in the process.

Riley also said he plans to speak to Heat owner Micky Arison about extending his front office contract and giving head coach Stan Van Gundy a new deal.
