Portland Trail Blazers Reportedly Interested In Miami Heat's Bam Adebayo In Exchange For No. 3 Pick

In this story:
Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard has said he wants out if the team begins the rebuilding process this summer.
So the Trail Blazers are listening to his demands by reportedly concocting a trade for Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo in exchange for the No. 3 pick. The talks were reported by Jake Fischer of Yahoo! Sports.
"Portland appears unlikely to part with the No. 3 choice unless the Blazers are netting back one of a select number of premium targets to pair with Lillard," Fischer wrote. "According to one source with knowledge of the situation, Portland is preparing what the team believes to be a compelling package for Miami to part with All-Defensive centerpiece Bam Adebayo."
The Heat have said since last season that Adebayo was considered off-limits in the trade market. With the Heat built to win a championship now, it is unlikely they make a move to get younger.
