With the Damian Lillard to the Miami Heat trade talks surfacing over the last few weeks, there have been two names on the Heat roster that haven’t been considered. One is Jimmy Butler, who has been left out of talks due to his age and the fact that he’s likely better than Lillard. But the second is Bam Adebayo and it’s actually quite interesting that “talking heads” haven’t tried to insert him in trade talks. Or maybe it isn’t.
Adebayo is just 26 years old, has played in two NBA Finals, made two NBA All-Star teams and four All-NBA Defense second teams.
