The Miami Heat reportedly are in a good position to land Damian Lillard after the star point guard asked for a trade out of the Portland Trail Blazers.
More teams are set to join this race, but Lillard reportedly told the Blazers that he wants to join the Heat above any other team. This move will take some time, as both squads are looking for a third team to facilitate the move. In the process, Tyler Herro, who was mentioned in a potential Heat package for Lillard, is seemingly ready to say goodbye to the Heat.
Herro removed the ‘Miami Heat guard’ from his bio.
Now, it says ‘slow motion,’ a cryptic message that could predict how this deal is going to move until is completed.
Herro was considered a key piece for the present and the future of the Heat, and they didn’t even want to include him in a trade for Bradley Beal before the Phoenix Suns landed the shooting guard.
Things are different now, as Lillard can be the piece the Heat are missing to go deeper in the playoffs and win the NBA championship for the first time in over a decade. It won’t be easy, but having Dame on the roster will surely boost their chances to reach the promised land.
Heat And Blazers Looking For A Third Team To Complete Damian Lillard Trade
As stated before, the Heat and Trail Blazers are trying to find another team to complete this move. Some say the San Antonio Spurs are the perfect team to do this, and others name the Brooklyn Nets as a fitting destination for Herro.
Time will tell how this situation plays out, but it seems like Herro has accepted his fate and will be with the Heat only for a handful of days. Their run was solid, going to two NBA Finals and three Eastern Conference Finals, but never winning a championship together.
