And people forget that the other side of the court exists because of the entertainment business," he told Playmaker. "So for me, it's just that will, that passion, that mentality. ... I want to get Defensive Player of the Year just so I can have the award."

According to ESPN's Zach Lowe, several teams have called about Heat center Bam Adebayo. However, Miami isn't interested, with Lowe reporting the club "chuckled" when asked about his availability. It's no secret Blazers guard Damian Lillard wants to play in South Beach. But Portland is not keen on taking back guard Tyler Herro, jeopardizing a potential move altogether. Adebayo averaged a career-high 20.4 points last season, adding 9.2 rebounds and 1.2 steals. He's undersized for his position, meaning he may continue to get overpowered by larger adversaries. But the 25-year-old is a double-double threat whenever he steps on the floor, so he should remain at least a top-40 option in all fantasy formats this season.

The Portland Trail Blazers are reportedly preparing a "compelling" offer for Miami's star big man, Bam Adebayo. According to Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports, the Trail Blazers have been unwilling to deal their third-overall pick unless it brings back a premium type of player. One of those names that seem to fit the bill is a two-time All-Star and four-time All-Defensive 25-year-old. There haven't been any signs that the Heat would be willing to trade away Adebayo, but if the Blazers have something that can blow them out of the water, it may be something to watch.

Adebayo scored 20 points on 9-for-20 shooting and grabbed 11 rebounds while posting one assist and one steal. Adebayo's scoring was quite inefficient for most of the Finals, but he finished the series with eye-catching numbers, having averaged 21.8 points, 12.4 rebounds and 3.2 assists in the five-game series.
