Ever since Damian Lillard went back on everything he has said for the last 8 years and finally demanded an official trade from Portland, most fans have probably all been wishing they didn’t run out of their Twitter limit before we got news on what was gonna transpired, as his camp made it clear he only wanna go play for the Miami Heat.
This is not like the case with the Bradley Beal situation where Lillard has a no trade clause, but it is definitely one of those situations where a star player demands a trade and forces themselves to the team of their choice even without the NT, and based on the past few years where every star who wanted a trade just so they can play wherever they want, it’s fair to assume that Lillard will eventually end up in Miami. However, the problem here is the Blazers who obviously have zero interest or should I say need of Tyler Herro given the fact that their roster looks like. If you’re now investing in Scoot/Simons/Sharpe, you don’t really need Tyler Herro. That’s why we got the rumblings that the Blazers would be looking for that 3rd team to maybe send Herro too to add more draft assets for their rebuild.
And with the help of social media nowadays we can have an indication of how things unfold for Tyler Herro just by looking at his profile on Twitter where he already removed all signs of the Miami Heat
Could it be Dame to MIA, Herro to Brooklyn, and just a shit ton of picks back to the Blazers? Is this maybe how the Nets get out of Ben Simmons’ deal and send him to the Blazers? How nuts are we about to get?
All I know is, where there’s smoke there’s usually fire, and there seems to be a whole lot of smoke going off right now. This is sort of the final big domino fall of free agency, and I bet we won’t have to wait that long.
