With the Miami Heat at rock bottom in the Eastern Conference, coach Pat Riley discussed with media plans which could help get the team back on track, including getting far enough under the cap to sign an elite free agent this summer, the Miami Herald is reporting.

While such a plan would be a longshot at best, Riley said it ''can be done'' but seemed skeptical.

If the Heat do not get under the cap, which is highly unlikely, Riley said the Heat would be using both the mid level exception and the bi-annual exception.
