While most of the league has slowed their pursuit of superstar Kevin Durant, there have been rumors that the Miami Heat are still going after the former MVP.
Established big Bam Adebayo reacted to the trade rumors in an interview with the South Florida Sun Sentinel.
“It is what it is, control what you can control. Obviously it’s an opportunity for something, but in my opinion, control what you can control. I can’t control that.”
This may come as good news to Durant as Miami was one of his two preferred landing destinations. However the Nets have decided to stand-pat, awaiting a trade package they feel matches the sharpshooting forward’s value.

According to reports, the Nets are uninterested in a trade revolving around Sixth Man of the Year Tyler Herro, taking the stance that Adebayo is required for the team to consider trading Durant to Miami.
Adebayo doesn’t seem necessarily shaken up by the rumors and the rest of the league has shown an unwillingness to ship out their young talent and draft stock to Brooklyn.
