Karl-Anthony Towns hypothetical trades: Miami Heat

While this offer may not seem like much at first, Bam Adebayo is a downright incredible player. He impacts both ends of the court in a positive way. Adebayo is very mobile, switchable defensively onto almost any player, can facilitate an offense, and is just in his third NBA season.

Andre Igoudala is, very simply, salary cap filler. He is on the books for one more season then will have a team option in the 2021 offseason. Duncan Robinson is one of the best shooters in the NBA in only his second season. As a starter for the Miami Heat this past season, he averaged 13 points, three rebounds, and one assist. While he was a zero defensively, Robinson shot 45-percent from three.

Tyler Herro is another interesting piece in this trade. He was only a rookie this season but played rotational minutes for a Miami Heat team that currently sits in the four seed in the Eastern Conference. He averaged 13/4/2 on splits of 42/39/84 and will only improve as his career progresses.
