Herro on social media had cast Adebayo as a limited offensive player and therefore overpaid. “I didn’t even know he was upset. Because I read it and I didn’t like it,” Riley said of the postings by Herro, who was sent out to the Milwaukee Bucks in the Antetokounmpo trade. “I didn’t like what I read and I think those kind of comments, and that’s what, as I say, social media has consequences, and so he got offended by it and I don’t think they had time to talk about it or anything like that, but it happened.” Riley added, “Both of them are very competitive men and I was sorry to see that it happened, and I was even more sorry to see that what happened with Bam.”
“We are human, and this is an amazing profession. We get to realize our dreams, but the business can be tough,” Spoelstra said. “And we developed strong relationships with those guys, and we poured into all of them.

Like those are relationships that you enjoy developing, and yeah, and developing time with those guys, you know, so that is the tough part of it. Obviously, we're excited about having Giannis here.”
