Pat Riley: Wiggins, New Players 'Perfect' for Heat Culture After Jimmy Butler Trade

The Miami Heat landed Andrew Wiggins, Davion Mitchell and Kyle Anderson as part of the Jimmy Butler trade last week, and team president Pat Riley was happy to have the trio onboard.

"They are now officially part of what we do believe in, which is our culture here with the Heat," he told reporters. "And we believe they are perfect players to be part of that. I think they'll show it."

Wiggins said he was excited for the change in scenery, though it would be an adjustment.

"It's time for a new chapter," he told reporters. "It's hard. But that's the NBA, transitioning midseason. That's the NBA. It's a business. I'm here. I'm looking forward to it. I'm excited. I think we can do something special here. They've got a nice squad, great coaching staff, amazing fans. I'm looking forward to it."
