Bam Adebayo’s contract details: How much money does he make, and how many years left?
Having been named to Team USA’s roster for the Paris Olympics this summer, focus has fallen on the Miami Heat’s center. While there are those who have opposed his selection, it’s clear that he deserves to be counted among the best in the league.
What does Bam Adebayo’s contract look like?
Edrice Femi Adebayo is the name of the man we know today as ‘Bam’ Adebayo. When you consider for a moment that his nickname was given to him by his mother after she found a commonality between her son and the baby boy seen in the popular “Flintstones” cartoons of the 70s and 80s - his name was ‘Bam Bam’ - you can understand that Adebayo is both strong and incredibly mobile, qualities that the character in question possessed. Indeed, those were two of the main characteristics seen on screen in the famous animated series as ‘Bam Bam’ would often be seen lifting stones the size of a house, while still a baby that was unable to even walk. Clearly, Adebayo’s mother had her hands full
At any rate, this brings us back to the present, wherein Bam is easily one of the best big men in the Business, and with that, we come to his current situation and contract. Where the former is concerned, as mentioned before the 26-year-old has just been named to the Team USA team for the summer Olympics. That milestone comes at a time when his team is in a battle for a playoff spot. The Heat are set to face the Philadelphia 76ers in the NBA’s Play-In Tournament on Wednesday night. Should they win they will face clinch the 7th seed in the Eastern Conference and by extension a date with the New York Knicks who are seeded second.
Now, when it comes to Adebayo’s contract, we can say that he is currently on a deal that is on par with what he’s contributed to the team. At present, Adebayo is on a 5-year, $163,000,300 contract with the Miami Heat, all of which is guaranteed. To that end, his annual average salary stands at $32,600,060. Where this seasons is concerned, Adebayo is set to earn the full amount i.e., a base salary of $32,600,060, while carrying a cap hit of $32,600,060 and a dead cap value of $32,600,060.
