Tyler Herro has signed a four-year, $130 million contract extension with the Miami Heat after winning the 2022 NBA Sixth Man of the Year. However, despite the new contract not taking effect until next season, reports suggest that Herro is on the trading block.
Heat pursuing Damian Lillard
The Miami Heat are reportedly looking to acquire superstar point guard Damian Lillard. Unfortunately, the Portland Trail Blazers, Lillard’s current team, have expressed no interest in trading for Herro, as they already have multiple young guards on their roster. As a result, Miami is exploring other options and searching for a third team to involve in trade negotiations. According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, there’s no shortage of interest in the shooting guard.
Tyler Herro’s trade rumors
In a recent appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, NBA insider Charania discussed the growing rumors surrounding Herro’s potential trade. While the Heat may still be hoping to acquire Lillard, it remains to be seen if a suitable trade can be arranged that involves Herro and satisfies all parties involved. For now, the future of the talented young guard remains uncertain, with the possibility of him being traded before his new contract even begins.
