Is it time for the Miami Heat to seriously consider trading Bam Adebayo?

The Miami Heat should seriously consider trading Bam Adebayo.

He has started this season as poorly as one could imagine after winning a gold medal and coming in with such high expectations.

Adebayo has expressed in the past that he feels disrespected for not winning the Defensive Player of the Year award. He is also considered someone who needs to average 25 points to take his game to the next level.

That hasn’t happened this season and he had another lackluster performance in Sunday’s 95-94 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday night. He finished with nine points on 3-of-11 shooting, seven rebounds, seven assists and three blocks.

While some might say he filled the stat sheet, Adebayo has to average 25 and 12 consistently for the Heat to have elite success. What makes it worse is that he avoids the moment.

His numbers are far from those of recent seasons, averaging only 15.5 points and nine rebounds. He’s shooting below 40 percent.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is rumored to be on the block due to his discontent with the Milwaukee Bucks. If that’s correct, the Bucks and Heat could reach a deal that includes Adebayo. Naturally, other pieces are needed to achieve this agreement.

Maybe it’s time for the Heat to consider this.
