Tyler Herro was the subject of various trade rumors during the offseason amid the Heat’s reported pursuit of former Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard.
Speaking to Ira Winderman of The Sun Sentinel, Herro expressed relief that he remained in Miami after Lillard was eventually traded to the Bucks, indicating that he hadn’t wanted to play in Portland.
“I didn’t want to go to Portland, so I’m glad Portland didn’t want me,” Herro said of the Trail Blazers. “I just don’t want to be in Portland. So it’s not personal with Portland, at all.”
