The Portland Trail Blazers are known to be exploring avenues to try to improve their roster around star point guard Damian Lillard, but a reported potential deal for Miami Heat star center Bam Adebayo doesn't appear to be on the table.
On Wednesday's episode of The Lowe Post podcast, ESPN's Zach Lowe said around the 8:00 mark that Miami has no intentions of parting ways with the two-time All-Star:
"It came out yesterday that they would like to take a run at Bam Adebayo. That was met with laughter from the front offices of the Miami Heat, who are not going to trade a step-back kind of trade, let alone one involving Bam Adebayo, who they consider a franchise pillar who has proven himself a playoff winner for a team that has made two Finals in four years and has a superstar entering the back-end of his prime, let's say.
