Bam Adebayo has been asked questions regarding the latest Heat trade rumors. Last month, Kevin Durant requested a trade from the Nets, and he said his two preferred teams are the Suns and Heat. Nonetheless, since then, teams have not worked out a fair trade to acquire the two-time NBA champion.
When Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel asked Adebayo about potential trade rumors, the All-Star replied, “It is what it is, control what you can control. Obviously, it’s an opportunity for something, but in my opinion, control what you can control. I can’t control that.”
“So do what I’ve been doing. I get up early. I work out. Having fun with these kids. And I’m going to go home and go to sleep.”
Per multiple sources, Heat G.M. Andy Elisburg isn’t interested in sending Adebayo to the Nets in a trade package for Durant. Jimmy Butler, Kyle Lowry and Durant might sound terrific on paper. But Miami is better off keeping its star center. The front office is well aware of this observation.
