the trade market.<\/p>\n<p>They were already tuned in because of the Durant trade, but they are still seeing what options are before them.<\/p>\n<p>Saying goodbye to Adebayo would be tough because he has been perhaps the most consistent player in Miami for years.<\/p>\n<p>Last season, he averaged 18.1 points, 9.6 rebounds, and 4.3 assists.<\/p>\n<p>To many, he is the face of the Heat, so Miami would want a lot for him.<\/p>\n<p>The Lakers would have to package together just about every asset they have in order to get Adebayo, but it could be worth it.<\/p>\n<p>Since the departure of Anthony Davis, the Lakers have been aching for a player just like Adebayo.<\/p>\n<p>He could solve a lot of their problems, but it would cost them.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the Heat might decide to hold onto Adebayo and make other moves.<\/p>\n<p>But if they really feel the time has come to part ways with Adebayo, the Lakers may be the perfect team to do business
