Spoelstra wants to stay with the Heat as long as possible

Before the suspension the Heat were fourth in the Eastern Conference standings

Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said to Sirius XM NBA Radio that he isn’t interested in changing teams (transcription via Miami Herald):

“Micky and Pat created this culture,” Spoelstra said of owner Micky Arison and president Pat Riley during an interview on Sirius XM NBA Radio. “Some people might think they need to venture out on their own to create their own image. I do not have any of those kind of feelings. I feel a sense of purpose by carrying this culture on and this legacy to future teams. It’s what I enjoy. It’s what fills my cup up. I want to keep this going as long as I can. It doesn’t feel like a job.”

Before the suspension the Heat were fourth in the Eastern Conference standings with 41 wins over 65 games.
