"Having written a gigantic profile on [Bam Adebayo], I know exactly what he is to that franchise," he said on a recent episode of the Zach Lowe Show. "He's the standard bearer - culture bearer. There's not one part of them that would want to (trade him). Other teams I know have for sure asked about Bam and have been told, 'Hell no!'"
"Through 26 games, Adebayo's having the least efficient season of his career - similar to the start of last year. He's averaging 17.7 points, 9.7 rebounds and one steal across 31.0 minutes per game. Adebayo's shooting 46.2 percent from the floor, 32.1 percent from 3-point range and 76.7 percent from the charity stripe. The three-time All-Star has missed time with both foot and back injuries, which have affected his impact."
Bam Adebayo serves as the Miami Heat's most important player and cultural leader and is considered untouchable in trade conversations. Teams that inquired about Adebayo were reportedly rebuffed. Top stars pursuing Miami would likely welcome playing alongside Adebayo. Through 26 games he is averaging 17.7 points, 9.7 rebounds and one steal in 31.0 minutes with shooting splits of 46.2% FG, 32.1% 3P and 76.7% FT. Foot and back injuries have limited his availability and reduced his impact. Early post-injury performances showed higher efficiency, but production has declined in subsequent games.
