Why The Miami Heat Do The Deal
Absolutely. In many respects, it’s hard to imagine a better fit for the Heat than Green. Calling him a hard-working player feels disrespectful to his effort levels. Nobody outworks Draymond Green.
Of course, that’s not the only reason the Heat could be interested in him. Green would also serve a functional purpose for them.
Specifically, they could use an upgrade at the 4 position. Green would instantly slot in as this team’s starter.
Moreover, Looney would be their new starting big man. He can’t replicate Adebayo’s playmaking, but he can replicate much of his defensive value. Looney has relatively quick feet that allow him to defend in space and protect the rim.

On the other hand, the Heat also get a pair of first-round picks here. That’s vital – as it stands, this team is fairly low on draft capital. Should the Warriors really part with two picks just to land Adebayo?
