He finally made a good trade which was extremely weak in the grand scheme of things. Teams with assets to offer pulled power moves drying up much of the free agent market. Many potential free agers moved teams and with those teams giving up assets to acquire them, that means those team will work to keep them there...
Just off the top guys who were traded-changed zip codes, who could have been more attractive heading into the summer
Dragic
Jackson
Afflalo
McDaniels
Kanter
Knight
Young

Having cap space and draft picks means nothing if you don't draft well or if top free agents spurn your advances... even worse if you overpay to fallback on a last resort/plan C (Amar'e).
Phil had nothing to trade to PHO; probably b/c he sold on TC and SHUMP & JR too early.
Prepare for plenty of rejection this July. NYK will overpay to lure overrated Tobias Harris and decent-not-great Andre Drummond.
Well you can forget Dragic coming to the Knicks. Riley the dealmaker.
That's a good trade for the Nets, Billy King bests Phil Jackson.
Honest question to those who are applauding Riley, not meant to start argument at all: Why is 2 1st round picks and a bunch of players for Dragic, who would have been a free agent this summer anyway, a great move, while 2 1st round picks and a bunch of players for Melo and Biliups a few years ago a stupid move?
Just the fact that it's Pat Riley gives the deal credibility, he did seem to give up a lot of assets but Miami is one of the teams that Dragic blessed and trading for him gives Miami his bird rights so he can pay him more than anyone else this summer.
Because Dragic mentioned 3 other teams he would play for, whereas Melo only wanted to play for us. Please don't beat me up for this logical reply. Hopefully this helps you to see the major difference
