With an immense amount of trade speculation surrounding the Los Angeles Lakers, there could be some conversation among the fan base about a few Miami Heat stars.
As the Lakers are looking to add a center to the team alongside Luka Doncic and LeBron James, one player mentioned by team reporter for The Athletic’s Jovan Buha was Bam Adebayo along with the mention of Andrew Wiggins.
Buha said he likes the idea of Adebayo joining Los Angeles as he would be a “clear upgrade” where he fits perfectly on defense, and while the offensive side isn’t the archetype the team could be looking for, he would be a highly valuable add.
However, Buha pointed out on his YouTube channel that a deal wouldn’t likely make sense for Miami since they would probably get back Austin Reaves, who shares similarities with All-Star Tyler Herro.
“I think the bigger thing is to your question, I don’t see the asset offer there for the Lakers,” Buha said. “Like, if you put yourself in Miami shoes, and I made this point recently on a mailbag, like, why would they trade for Austin Reeves when they have Tyler Herro?
“And there are some similarities there. There are some differences there, but in general, they are similar types of players, and Austin’s two years older than Tyler Hero, and he’s only one year younger than Bam Adebayo.”
