Whether the Miami Heat deal or retain Jimmy Butler at the trade deadline, there’s one star, who is potentially on the market, that fits both timelines.
Sacramento Kings guard De’Aaron Fox could see a change of scenery as soon as the trade deadline, considering the team is the No. 12 seed in the Western Conference with a record of 13-18. Although Heat center Bam Adebayo is not contributing in the scoring category like in past years, he could be the key reason Miami’s front office is able to acquire Fox.
ESPN’s Tim MacMahon shared on The Hoop Collective the Heat are among teams that could pursue a blockbuster trade for the one-time All-Star.
“Now, if this sets up like the tea leaves are reading that Fox is going to ask out,” MacMahon said. “When you’re doing podcasts with Draymond and kind of setting the foundation, if he does ask out San Antonio, Houston, keep an eye on those two. I’ve heard Miami with the Bam connection there. Who knows which one of those teams will actually be suitors if it comes to that.”
As previously mentioned, the 27-year-old is the perfect fit for the Heat and their system. Not only could he help Butler, Adebayo, Tyler Herro, and company compete for a championship this season, but also play with the more youthful two of the Heat’s Big Three for years to come.

The Miami Heat have made a splash in the trade market, acquiring an All-Star guard through their close relationship with star big man Bam Adebayo.
After a disappointing season that saw the Heat fall short of their championship aspirations, the front office wasted no time in making moves to improve the team. In a surprising turn of events, Miami was able to secure a deal for a high-caliber guard thanks to Adebayo’s personal connection with the player.
Adebayo, who has emerged as a leader and cornerstone of the Heat’s roster, played a key role in recruiting the All-Star guard to Miami. The two players share a close bond both on and off the court, and Adebayo’s endorsement played a crucial role in convincing the guard to join the Heat.
With this new addition, the Heat are poised to make a strong comeback in the upcoming season. The combination of the All-Star guard and Adebayo’s versatile skill set promises to be a formidable duo that will give Miami a competitive edge in the Eastern Conference.
Fans are buzzing with excitement over the potential of this new partnership, and the Heat are eager to see how their revamped roster performs on the court. Stay tuned for more updates as the team gears up for the upcoming season with their latest acquisition.
