Tyler Herro posted an Instagram story that has fans buzzing. The young Miami Heat guard shared a picture of himself on a private plane, captioning the shot, “Ain’t no friends in this business.”
Herro’s post is today’s talk, but the trade chatter started earlier. On July 1, Chris Haynes of Bleacher Report said the Heat were planning a trade package . It would focus on Herro, teammate Duncan Robinson, and some draft picks. The next day, Herro removed “ Miami Heat Guard” from his Twitter bio, raising eyebrows.
Now, with training camp opening on October 2, talks are said to be “heating up.” Danny Marang, a Portland sports host, backed this up. He reported that multiple sources confirm trade talks are in advanced stages to lock in a deal before the new season’s training camp.
Herro put up solid numbers last season, averaging 20 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists per game. However, a hand injury cut his playoff run short. The Blazers would gain a talented, young guard to pair with their promising rookie Scoot Henderson.
As for the Heat, landing Lillard could be a game-changer. His scoring and playmaking could make them title favorites. It’s a risky but bold move for both teams. The Heat aim to go all-in on winning now, while the Blazers might be looking to rebuild with fresh talent.
Tyler Herro’s Instagram story adds more heat to an already sizzling situation. The 23-year-old is about to enter the first season of his four-year, $130 million extension. As the October 2 training camp deadline looms, Miami and Portland have difficult choices to make.
Whether Herro’s post is a farewell to Miami Heat fans or just venting, keep your eyes peeled to see if this Damian Lillard trade officially goes through.
