As Bam Adebayo has endured one of the more prolonged offensive slumps of his seven seasons as a Miami Heat starter, Ethan Skolnick and Greg Sylvander go on the record about how the Heat should value him now -- and whether there's ever a situation that should get them to consider making him available.

With the Miami Heat slipping to a game over .500, and Bam Adebayo still struggling, Ethan Skolnick and Brady Hawk wonder whether Erik Spoelstra has maximized the roster -- or if there's more he can draw out of certain players and lineups.

We didn't get to see the first five take the floor in Chicago on Thursday, other than in warmups. But prior to the game's suspension due to excess moisture in United Center, Erik Spoelstra tipped his hand. Ethan Skolnick and Brady Hawk speculate on whether this will be the starting group going forward and, if so, what does each player need to provide and sacrifice.

Miami Heat fans have frustrations with non-contending seasons of late, but if they're also Miami Dolphins fans, they know it can be worse.

Over time, the Miami Heat have not shown much interest in Hawks guard Trae Young, other than when locking him up in elimination games. But now that it appears the Hawks will move Young for next-to-nothing, should the Heat get involved? Alex Toledo kind of, sort of, tries to convince Ethan Skolnick, only because no one else will.
