Pat Riley stressed on Monday that Shaquille O'Neal's future remains with the Heat, the team he helped lead to the 2006 NBA title.

"We're not interested in trading him at all, because we want those 17 points and those eight rebounds and 50-percent (shooting)," Riley said. "That's what we want.

"I'm not interested in doing that, we're not. I'm just telling you straight out, we're not interested at all in that."

Although known for taking midseason injury hiatuses as a means of extending his career, O'Neal had appeared in every game before missing the past five.
