The Miami Heat’s renewal of Bam Adebayor’s operation will not prevent the Heat from acquiring Giannis Antetokounmpo in the 2021 offseason, but I don’t think the Heat should fight for Antetokounmpo. .
There is a rumors within the league that the Heat's renewal of Adebayor means that it will be more difficult for them to get Antetokounmpo. According to Anrhony Chiang of the "Miami Herald", if the Heat make Adebayor reach an incentive clause, it will be an obstacle to get Antetokounmbo with a maximum salary during the 2021 offseason. However, if the Heat really have a chance to get Antetokounmbo with a maximum salary, will the Heat let go of this opportunity? According to Spotrac’s report, only 68 million on the Heat’s book during the 2021 offseason are guaranteed. Le pays wages of 1.6 million, 1.7 million, 28.1 million, and 36 million. There are many players in the Heat who have team options in the second season of contract. The Heat can all remove their wages from the calculation range. In this case, The Heat have a salary of 44 million, and it is still possible to get a maximum salary of 38.2 million from Antetokounmpo.
Although the Heat can eat Antetokounmpo, is he really a suitable player for the Heat? I don't think it is. The Heat's offensive system relied on hand-to-hand passes and pick-and-rolls last season. The Heat were the team with the most hand-handed passes last season, averaging 9.6 times per game. 69.8% of the Heat's hands are from Goran Dragic, Duncan Robinson, and Taylor Hilo. They averaged 6.7 times per game. In addition, the Heat averaged 21.5 pick-and-rolls per game, ranking 13th in the league. Butler and Dragic played 61.9% of the pick and roll tactics, averaging 13.3 times per game.
The Heat’s offensive mode gives Antetokounmbo two role choices. The first is a player who opens up space, and the second is a pick-and-roll. This is because the Heat’s offensive mode is for frontcourt players to open up space. Give space to the golfer. For example, Andre Iguodala, Kelly Olynik, and Jay Crowder have more than 50% of their shots from the three-point line. They each averaged 2.2 and 3.5 three-pointers per game. 6.4 times.
Unfortunately, Antetokounmpo is not a master who can shoot three-pointers from historical data. He has averaged 2.1 three-pointers per game in his career, shooting 28.4% from the field, which is very dismal. Antetokounmpo's poor shooting left him with a large area when his opponents defended him. This season, he averaged 4.7 three-pointers per game and shot 30.4%. When he comes to the Heat, the Heat's space will only become more crowded, and the compression of space will make Butler's efficiency drop. Most of the output of Butler's offensive end this season comes from the paint.
Butler averaged 15.5 shots per game during the regular season and averaged 5 shots per game in the reasonable collision zone. 38.2% of Butler's regular season shots came from the reasonable collision zone. Butler has a natural instinct in the reasonable collision zone. During the regular season, Butler shot 63.9% in the reasonable collision zone and averaged 6.4 points per game, accounting for 32.2% of the total.
Looking at it this way, the Heat only let Antetokounmpo be a pick-and-roller. Antetokounmpo has performed very well as a pick-and-roll player in the past four seasons. He can get 1.44 points per 1.16 attacks, which is very efficient. high. But in this case, Adebayor can't do this job. Adebayor can only open up the space, but Adebayor is not good at doing this. He averaged 0.2 three-pointers per game throughout the season. If Bayeux goes to open up the space, it can only be directly ignored by his opponents. Butler also has to open up the space. He has to leave his reasonable collision zone and increase his outside shooting. Unfortunately, Butler struggled from outside the season. He shot only 33.7% outside the three-second zone. He averaged 8 shots per game, which was 2.2 less than the 2018-19 season.
Who will the Heat be chasing in the 2021 offseason?
The Heat pursue Paul George. I think it will be better. George has taken 6.4 three-pointers per game and shot 38.1% in his career. He is good at opening space. George can attract enough defensive appeal. He His three-pointer ability makes opponents dare not let him go, and this shooting ability also allows his teammates to play more easily. For example, George can go to open space, Butler like thisYou can go to the basket. George's presence will also make Adebayor more efficient as a pick and roll.
Adebayor has 2.1 direct attacks per game after the pick-and-roll, and Adebayor’s 1.6 attempts per game come from direct attacks after the pick-and-roll, with a shooting percentage of 60.2% and an average of 2.3 points per game, accounting for the total. 21.9% of the score.
If George signs with other teams, then the Heat should chase the trade to get Bradley Beal. His offensive effect is similar to George. Bill has averaged 6 three-pointers per game during his career, shooting 38% from the field. The Heat It is possible to propose a package transaction with Robinson and Shiro as the transaction subjects.
To sum up, the Heat really shouldn't chase Antetokounmpo in the 2021 offseason. His skill pack is really out of tune with the Heat.
