Bam Adebayo is one of the best defenders in the league at the moment. He has made three All-Defensive NBA teams in five seasons. So the Heat will be short-handed when it comes to defense if they let Adebayo leave.
Bam Adebayo addresses trade rumors involving Kevin Durant
This is not the first time Adebayo has been in the midst of trade rumors and he knows how to handle situations like these. When asked about the rumors, Adebayo basically shrugged.
?It is what it is, control what you can control,? said Adebayo, who has been viewed as a lynchpin to a possible deal for Durant. “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.?

The Heat had a good season last year despite a lot of people not considering them as contenders. They were just one game short of reaching the NBA finals as they lost to the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals. Both teams went toe to toe throughout the series, but the Celtics came out winners in game-7.
Bam Adebayo is not just a defensive center for the Heat. Last season he averaged 19.1 points, 10.1 rebounds, and 3.4 assists per game. Furthermore, he is just 25 years old and has the potential to be great.
