Bam Adebayo on what changes he’d like to see this summer: “That’s a Pat Riley question. I hope you can ask that question to him and he doesn’t blow you off and ignore you”

1. Oh?

2. I mean, that’s exactly where questions need to be directed

3. Really seems like Pat’s lost his touch. Time to retire old man.

4. Yikes. The Pat Riley revolt is in full swing.

5. HE GONE

6. **Update:**

   Riley is not speaking today, per Barry Jackson:

   > For the many who keep asking, Pat Riley is not speaking today. He will in the days or weeks ahead…

7. Bam to the Bucks confirmed

8. It’s not as bad as it reads if you watch the video….. but still, telling he said it at all

9. Riley’s playbook is just stayin pat. Take that as you will.

   He rarely, if ever, commits to anything.

10. Imagine they name the court after you and you immediately lose the team after.

11. Riley probably got snipers pointed at Aja Wilson after this.

12. Heat fans temp check?😅

13. That’s not a good sign that it seems Bam can’t even talk to him about it.

14. I dont think his answer is a big deal. I think Bam knows anyone who asks Pat this question outside the organization is probably just getting ignored.

15. Can’t say I blame him honestly with how badly the team collapsed after Jimmy left. I know too many people who will give Pat Riley a pass because of his tenure and vast experience but the man is clearly out of touch with the modern NBA. He just needs to hang it up now and let the Heat clean up his mess.

16. Oh they pissed pissed

17. Rob pelinka doesn’t ignore you

18. He gone

19. Pat trading Bam confirmed

20. Heat Culture in shambles?

21. Bam, you are a Laker!

22. Whose cookies did Pat take away this time

23. Wow. Sounds a lot like what Lakers players were saying about him in the 80s:

    > Riley once was that guy, and somewhere along the way he bought into his own hype. He began treating players like children, even when they were in their 30s. He stopped listening to suggestions. By the end of his time as the head coach, he was genuinely loathed by Laker players who thought his whole act had grown stale. He wasn’t a genius. Merely a really excellent hoops coach.”

    That shit could have been a quote from Shaq 20 years ago, the Heatles 10 years ago, or Bam 10 minutes ago.

24. Pat told Bam they’d get Dame no problem

25. Sounds like Bam has asked that question and been blown off and ignored lmao

    If Riley doesn’t land a big FA in the off-season it’s almost guaranteed Mickey Arison has him step down, it’s probably curtains for Coach Spo too if they have to rebuild completely, that guy has already been through two rebuilds I doubt he wants a third

    Big off-season for Miami

26. I’m gonna miss you Bam. Fuck.

27. Pat Riley has been a historically great basketball mind. Shame that his cognitive abilities are declining but expected at his age. I think it’s really that simple.

28. I don’t ever want to hear about “Heat Culture” again lol. Cavs absolutely dismantled them.

29. Get ready to speak Laker, Bam

30. Heat Culture

31. Am I the only one who watched the video? I’ll admit I got clickbaited hard by the title but it looks like he was just making a joke.
