The Miami Heat are going to face the Cleveland Cavaliers in an intense matchup. However, what makes this faceoff more interesting is that Max Strus was a former Heat member and got traded to the Cavaliers.

One of those teammates spoke about him just before their matchup. And that player is none other than, Bam Adebayo. Safe to say he had a few colorful remarks to make about his former teammate.

Never want him on my team again.”

He said that in a humorous tone and added, “No, it?s definitely great to have Max.”.?Now what happens in the match is anyone’s guess, but even if one player gets traded and goes to another team, his bond can remain the same with his former teammates as well.

Even Strus has spoken about Adebayo in his early days at the Cavaliers to show respect for his former teammate. When he was asked about defending with Allen and Mobley’s combined presence, Strus expressed, “It makes my job easy. With guys protecting the rim like that, it just makes it easier to guard on the perimeter. Bam’s phenomenal at it as well, but JA’s probably the best in the league at protecting the rim”. However, now as their respective teams face each other, their competition starts as each athlete wants to attain glory for their franchise.
