Pat Riley rules out trading Bam Adebayo without massive return

Miami Heat president Pat Riley says he would only consider trading Bam Adebayo for eight draft picks and Victor Wembanyama.
Riley emphasized Adebayo's status as the franchise's cornerstone, dismissing comparisons to recent trades involving Trae Young, Domantas Sabonis, and Pascal Siakam.
Adebayo, who averaged 20.1 points and 10 rebounds this season and scored 83 points in a March game, remains central to Miami's plans despite the team missing the playoffs after a 43-39 finish.
