Why The Miami Heat Do The Deal
Of course, this is why we’re calling this a creative solution. This frontcourt pairing isn’t necessarily intuitive.
Especially considering Butler’s presence. A starting frontcourt of Adebayo, Vanderbilt and Butler would be severely lacking in spacing. Why would the Heat do this?
Well, that wouldn’t be their starting lineup. In all likelihood, Vanderbilt would be a reserve. He’d be Adebayo’s primary backup. On the other hand, the two could share the floor for spells as well.
In fact, their combined playmaking and defense could overwhelm opponents in bursts. It may even allow the Heat to reintroduce Duncan Robinson into their rotation.

Put these two with three elite spacers, and they can share the floor in some impactful lineups.
Should the Lakers help them put it together?
