"In addition, as NBA insider Jake Fischer notes, it'd also have to come in a buy-low scenario. But that's not just unique to the Heat. There aren't many teams in the league at the moment that are willing to go "all-in" for AD. At this stage of his career, and with his injury history, it just doesn't make sense for any team to put their prime assets on the table for AD."
"Especially with how the rumor mill has been churning of late, it's become abundantly clear that the Heat is laser-focused on their pursuit of Giannis. Whether it's a plausible scenario remains to be seen, but even if there is a small chance that the Heat could fork their way into the Giannis sweepstakes, it would be foolish to make a move that would jeopardize that. Theoretically speaking, if the Heat trades for AD, they're probably not in the mix for Giannis."
"Specifically for the Heat, trading for AD could be viewed as an appealing scenario. When he's healthy, he's one of the best two-way players in the league. And based on their experience together during the Olympics, there's reason to believe that an AD-Bam Adebayo frontcourt duo could help terrorize the Eastern Conference. But the Heat would only explore such a scenario at the right price. And not until they strike out on Giannis."
The Miami Heat would consider trading for Anthony Davis only in a buy-low scenario after they miss out on Giannis Antetokounmpo. Anthony Davis's injury history and having one year left on his contract complicate his trade value and discourage teams from offering prime assets. Many teams are unwilling to go all-in for Davis at this stage of his career. When healthy, Davis remains one of the league's best two-way players and could form a dominant AD–Bam Adebayo frontcourt. The Heat values keeping their pursuit of Giannis alive and would not make a move that jeopardizes that opportunity.
