Miami Heat\u00a0President\u00a0Pat Riley\u00a0has openly discussed the difficulty he faces when trading players away on Udonis Haslem’s podcast, ‘The OGs Show,’ where Riley frankly discussed his dislike for trading players away and how he’s filled with pride that many of his former players are now full-time Heat employees.<\/p>\n

“I couldn’t guarantee you reliability because it’s a business. Trading players is hard for me. It’s part of the business. Free agents go to other places, that’s the world we live in. But you’ve got to have the first two – you gotta be sincere, you gotta be confident, and be as reliable as you can. One of the proudest things that I feel about is that there’s at least 8-10 players who work for the Heat who used to play for us.”<\/em><\/p>\n
