Brooklyn Nets Receive: C Bam Adebayo, G/F Duncan Robinson, 2024 First-Round Pick (MIA)
Miami Heat Receive: F Kevin Durant

Arguably, this trade is fraught with issues for both the Brooklyn Nets and Miami Heat. Let’s dig a little deeper.

For the Nets, the fit between Adebayo and Ben Simmons is questionable. They’re both non-shooting playmakers. Meanwhile, for the Heat, they’re getting significantly older, parting with a franchise cornerstone and draft capital. On the other hand, maybe the Nets could make it work.

If the Nets put elite floor spacing between Simmons and Adebayo, they could field a functional offense. Meanwhile, as a defensive pairing, they’d be unstoppable.

As for the Heat, they’re not going to make this deal if they advance past the Boston Celtics to the NBA Finals this season. If they do fall short, they’d have to entertain it. A healthy Kevin Durant might make them championship favorites in 2022-23.
