At 81, Pat Riley isn't going anywhere: 'I'm not going to retire. I'm not going to resign.'
He's also not going to trade Bam Adebayo, "I want to build this around Bam."
The Miami Heat did not survive the play-in tournament this season and did not make the playoffs. They did get out of it the past two seasons, only to be bounced in the first round. The Heat have looked like one of those teams stuck in the middle and trying to get out of a rut.
That stagnation has led to some speculation that there could be a change at the top, with Pat Riley stepping aside as the team president. In his annual postseason press conference, Riley shot that down. Emphatically.
Pat Riley: “I'm not going to retire. I'm not going to resign. I'm not going to step aside.
When I came here almost 31 years ago, I have the same attitude as I had in that press conference, period. I want another parade down Biscayne Boulevard. It may come.
