A’ja Wilson’s friend, Michael McManus, who is also known on social media as Deloris, has put in his vote as to where Miami Heat star Bam Adebayo should play next season.
McManus reacted to a post on X saying that Adebayo should be sent to the LA Lakers next season to complement Luka Doncic and Lebron James, with his tenure in Miami looking a bit shaky after a down year for the franchise.
The Lakers have struggled in the playoffs this season, as they are 3-1 down against the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
The Lakers’ biggest issue is playing without a center, which has caused issues in their ability to rebound the ball and secure second possessions. Rudy Gobert has had a field day on the glass, only making Los Angeles’ need for a big even clearer.
The Miami Heat, meanwhile, were swept by the Cleveland Cavaliers 4-0. Adebayo was noticeably upset and unsure of his future in Miami after being eliminated from the playoffs.
He averaged 18.1 points and 9.6 rebounds throughout the regular season and stayed on pace in the playoffs, averaging a double-double in the first round series.
While McManus may see a future for Adebayo with the Lakers simply for a basketball reason, another reason could be for Adebayo to be closer to Wilson. The two are rumored to be dating, with the Miami star showing up at Wilson’s important moments this past year, including her statue reveal at South Carolina.
