Pat Riley said he does not expect the Heat to make a trade by Thursday's 3 p.m. NBA deadline.

"I'm not inclined to do anything," he said, "because this team, to me, has enough when they're motivated. When they're motivated, they've shown so many great qualities."

Riley was asked about Ruben Patterson, who has stated a preference for a trade to the Heat.

"We've not had any discussions at all," he said of the defensive-minded Trail Blazers forward.
