If Derrick Rose of the Chicago Bulls is the most likely runaway winner of the MVP award then Miami Heat President Pat Riley may likewise be the hands down choice for the Executive of the Year plum. Riley has done something extraordinary that has not been done before in league history. That is signing up three of probably the top 15 NBA players under one team. Riley pulled off a coup in acquiring LeBron James and Chris Bosh to team up with resident superstar Dwyane Wade, who himself was re-signed by Riley in an eventful summer of 2010. One NBA General Manager says it’s a no-brainer that Riley is the league's top executive this season, according to CBS Sports.
“It should not be a close vote. Pat Riley was by far the best. ... To add three of the top 20 players in the NBA in one offseason has never been done before or likely again.”
