[Saba Sports News] Tyler Herro, the young Miami Heat guard, has raised questions about his future with the team through a cryptic Instagram story. His post on a private plane with the caption ‘Ain’t no friends in this business’ aligns with ongoing rumors of the Heat pursuing a trade for Damian Lillard of the Portland Trail Blazers.
Earlier in the summer, reports suggested that the Heat were assembling a trade package involving Herro, Duncan Robinson, and potential draft picks. Herro’s Twitter bio change, omitting his affiliation with the Miami Heat, further fueled speculation.
With training camp approaching and escalating trade discussions, the basketball community anticipates potential roster changes. An analyst has even hinted at the possibility of a Lillard trade announcement within a day, adding to the intrigue.
Acquiring Lillard could enhance Miami’s championship aspirations, given his undeniable on-court skills. On the other hand, Portland may seek to inject new talent into their roster, with Herro’s impressive performance from the previous season making him a suitable candidate.
Meanwhile, the Portland Trail Blazers are making a concerted effort to retain Damian Lillard despite his trade demand. The team’s management remains hopeful, working diligently to change Lillard’s stance before training camp. Lillard’s professionalism suggests he won’t skip training or games amid trade rumors.
However, the challenge lies in matching the Blazers’ valuation of Lillard with the Heat’s current assets, creating a high-stakes waiting game for Portland as they seek to retain their franchise star.
