The Miami Heat need Bam Adebayo and what he brings. They had to get this deal done and they did.

They Had To Get It Done And They Did

I’ve had my questions in the past about the front office, such as for their 2017 offseason and as Miami Heat fans should have but as of right now, how can you question this front office with the moves they have made over the past several years?

They Drafted Adebayo at 13, Tyler Herro at 14, and finding undrafted Duncan Robinson was a huge get. That guy was the best shooter in the league last year.

Like I said before, Miami had ZERO cap space and still acquired Jimmy Butler. Miami fans should be happy that you get to and would want to extend your own draft picks too.

Miami will get a superstar next year, somehow, someway. Miami fans need to have some guts and relax.

Miami just extended one of their franchise players for the next five years and he should only get better with time. Remember, Adebayo has no ceiling.

Just wait until he hits his jumper more consistently. Miami will be fine in the long run and you want to know why?

Miami made the NBA Finals this past season and our young guys should only be better. Look, when Adebayo got injured in the Finals, leaving Miami with no rim protection, Butler had to do everything on offense.

While that was unfortunate, it revealed a harshed but already known reality. We need, want, and should appreciate everything Bam brings to this team.

Adebayo is a Heat lifer and other players will want to come to Miami to play with him. Miami fans should just prepare to enjoy this upcoming season because with Bam Adebayo in the fold for the foreseeable future, Miami will only continue to get better.
