Orlando Magic receive: G/F Caleb Martin, G Victor Oladipo

Miami Heat receive: C Mo Bamba 

On the other hand, Bamba was supposed to be a bigger part of revolutionizing the position. 

When the Magic selected him with the 6th pick in the 2018 draft, they saw a future star. As a matter of fact, most observers did. Bamba was a player unlike too many we’d seen before. 

Sometimes, things change quickly. Suddenly, big men who could protect the rim and space the floor became increasingly commonplace. Such a player still holds value, but in 2022, it doesn’t assure you stardom. 

Frankly, you need to do more. Bamba’s inability to survive in space defensively is an issue. Moreover, he may space the floor, but he doesn’t connect from distance with any kind of consistency.

All told, Bamba is going to be in the NBA for a while, but if he’s going to ascend to stardom, he’ll have to make strides. 

Is this really a player the Heat should be targeting?
