Former Philadelphia 76ers coach and new ESPN/ABC analyst Doc Rivers said Friday that the Heat needs to add another impactful player to win a title with this roster. “Do I think they need another guy to get over the hump? I do,” Rivers said on an ESPN Zoom session previewing the season. “I think they have enough to make a run. But do they have enough to win it? I think they need another player, another closer, per se. “It didn’t have to be Damian Lillard. There’s guys available. Dame would have been a perfect fit because Dame is serious about basketball and his conditioning. He would have been an easy culture guy to add to the Heat. “My guess is Pat Riley and Erik [Spoelstra] are out looking [for] what’s another way they can improve their team. The thing about Miami, from what I know, is players don’t really complain about going and living in Miami. That part of it they have. They don’t complain about the taxes in Florida. That part they have as well. The next part is can they fit in? And can they acquire him? Because you have to give up something to get something. And that’s the problem right there for them.”
