NBA Trade Rumors: ESPN insiders discuss Miami Heat’s plans in the off-season
The Miami Heat are expected to pursue a third star once the trade window officially opens. Bam Adebayo is one of the many pieces that would lure other teams into parting ways with a marquee player.
However, NBA trade rumors suggest that Adebayo is off the table at this point, and the Miami Heat will present him with a contract extension. In an episode of the basketball talk show ‘The Jump’, ESPN insider Zach Lowe said in this regard:
Bam Adebayo proved his mettle in the Orlando bubble by playing a key role in the Miami Heat’s run to the 2020 NBA Finals. He was impactful at both ends of the court, battling for rebounds and playmaking when necessary.

Following Lowe’s comments, Matt Barnes chipped in with his thoughts regarding what the Miami Heat could possibly do:
Their new-found success will now force the Heat into making the necessary additions to its roster to be able to mount another title challenge next year. If Herro and co. stay with the duo of Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo, the Heat could reach another NBA Finals next season.
