Dice Jake que POR ofrece juventud y selecciones atractivas por Bam Adebayo, lo que MIA rechaza de plano.
TrailBlazers es incapaz de armarle un equipo veterano a Damian Lillard. De no hacerlo, Dame envía señales que no le caería bien.

Yes, Heat president Pat Riley is having his season-ending press conference tomorrow. No, he can’t technically comment on Bradley Beal or Damian Lillard because they are currently under contract with other teams. – 3:11 PM

Although Pat Riley is addressing media Tuesday, keep in mind, he cannot:
– Discuss Damian Lillard, who is under contract to another team.
– Discuss Bradley Beal (see above).
– Discuss plans for impending Heat free agents such as Strus, Vincent ahead of negotiation period. – 2:21 PM

More on this storyline
Chris Haynes: I’ll say this for Miami to take this approach. They must feel like they got some sense, some knowledge that this could be the offseason that Dame request out. Like they believe they feel like this could be the year. And the reason is Dame has made it clear that he wants to compete for a championship and he wants to continue and he wants a roster that can get him there. He wants that now, he does not want to wait, he does not want to go to a rebuild, doesn’t want to continue to play with younger guys to help them grow and get to that point he wants to win. -via Apple Podcasts / June 20, 2023
Chris Haynes: What Portland does with that number three pick on Thursday’s draft, that’s going to be so important. And we’ll see if all indications are Portland is going to keep that pick as of right now. All indications are leaning that way. And then Dame will have a decision to make at that point. -via Apple Podcasts / June 20, 2023
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 Damian Lillard. 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. -via Yahoo!
