Miami Heat Reportedly Have Interest In Detroit Pistons' Nerlens Noel

The Heat are looking to add more size because of injuries

Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra recently said the team needed help up front because of injuries. 

The Heat even called up Orlando Robinson from G League to add depth in the frontcourt. So it's no surprise they are reportedly interested in Detroit Pistons center Nerlens Noel according to The Athletic. 

“League sources, who were granted anonymity so that they could speak freely, have told The Athletic that the Pistons are looking to move the veteran big man,” the Athletic reported. "Both sides have agreed that a deal is best for both parties, and Detroit has already had talks with rival teams about Noel. Portland, Sacramento, Miami and Dallas have been the teams most engaged when it comes to acquiring the 28-year-old.”

The Heat have been without backup Omer Yurtseven all season because of ankle surgery. Dewayne Dedmon has also dealt with foot issues, leaving Bam Adebayo as the primary center. 

Noel was the No. 6 pick in 2013 and 7.3 points and 6.2 rebounds in his career.
