Why The Miami Heat Do The Deal
With that said, there’s a difference between how this Heat team would look and how the aforementioned teams operate. Each of those squads features a big, versatile four alongside a solid-to-great rim protector. That would not be the case in Miami. Realistically, Towns struggles defensively in every spot on the court.
On the other hand, he would certainly give this offense a boost. Meanwhile, Adebayo could benefit from a shift to the 4. He’s able to guard the perimeter as well as he can guard the paint.
In fact, Jimmy Butler can cover for KAT as well. Granted, the two had their issues in Minnesota. Still, if they can put that water under the bridge, this deal could make the Heat better.
However, who is to say that Miami couldn’t continue to shuffle the roster after acquiring Towns? The Heat could continue to pivot by moving Butler elsewhere. There have already been rumblings about Butler wearing out his welcome in town, too.
