"The topic took a life of its own over the last couple of weeks as Bam was struggling through a pretty bad offensive slump. Not only was Bam able to break out of that nasty slump Tuesday night against the Phoenix Suns, in which he finished with 29 points and nine rebounds, but this bit of reporting also seems to have quieted that erroneous trade speculation at the same time."
"The most dumbfounding part of all this is that even if the Heat wanted to trade Bam, it would make no sense for them to do so now - not when his trade value was arguably at an all-time low. That just doesn't add up. If the Heat came to the conclusion that it would be in their best interest to trade Bam, they would not do so in-season in the middle of one of the worst slumps of his career."
"At the very least, they'd wait until the offseason and give him the second half of this season to build his offensive reputation back up. Either way, that's not happening. The Heat aren't trading Bam, and nor should they. He's arguably the team's most important player on the roster, and that was evident with the team's performance Tuesday night against the Suns."
The Miami Heat have no interest in trading Bam Adebayo. Speculation arose due to a recent offensive slump, but he broke out with 29 points and nine rebounds against the Phoenix Suns. Trading him now would make little sense because his trade value is low. If a trade were considered, the team would likely wait until the offseason to allow him time to rebuild his offensive reputation. Bam is arguably the team’s most important player; when he performs well on both ends the team looks significantly better, and when he struggles the team is more mediocre. The team must address leniency toward him.
