The Miami Heat are preparing to make Bam Adebayo their cornerstone with max contract extension offer
Adebayo, who is coming off his third NBA All-Star season, is reportedly set to soon land a max contract extension. Shams Charania of The Athletic reported the sides are hoping to agree on a three-year, $166-mllion deal.
"The Miami Heat and Bam Adebayo – a three-time All-Star and three-time All-Defensive player – intend to reach a three-year, $166 million maximum contract extension, sources tell," Charania posted on X. "Heat expect to lock in their cornerstone center through the 2028-29 season." The Miami Heat and Bam Adebayo – a three-time All-Star and three-time All-Defensive player – intend to reach a three-year, $166 million maximum contract extension, sources tellAdebayo just finished up his finest season, averaging 19.3 points and 10.4 rebounds. He helped lead the Heat to the first round of the playoffs, where they were defeated by the eventual champion Boston Celtics.
At 27, Adebayo is no longer considered a young player because he is entering his eighth NBA season. He isn't a kid any more, so the Heat are expecting even more this season. "Bam has to look at his game and sit with coach, how he can get better and expand his game," Heat team president Pat Riley said in May. "He's at a point right now, he's an All-NBA player. We're happy to have him.""In his growth spurt from his rookie to what he is right now has been off the chart," Riley said. "Everybody in the league knows what his game is. They all know what he does for us, how important he is for us in a lot of areas.
