As the trade discussions between the Heat and Trail Blazers for Damian Lillard linger, one name mentioned nearly as often as the 33-year-old point guard is the primary option expected to be moved by Miami—shooting guard Tyler Herro.
The problem, though, is that Portland reportedly isn’t interested in Herro, the NBA’s 2021-22 Sixth Man of the Year.
Although there has been chatter that a few other teams around the league could be willing to give up a first-round pick for Herro in a three-team trade, the overall interest in the 23-year-old guard apparently has been relatively low. While discussing the swirling trade situation and Herro specifically, Heat beat writer Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel unloaded on the way Herro has been treated during the Lillard saga.
