NBA insider suggests the Blazers should add Tyler Herro to Damian Lillard's trade package
Fans are still waiting for the Portland guard to be traded this offseason. Following his request to be traded to the Miami Heat, there hasn't been any movement regarding his demands to leave the Blazers.
NBA insider Marc Spears made a suggestion recently regarding the trade package that the Heat could propose to acquire Damian Lillard. Spears said that adding Tyler Herro could add an incredible amount of value if he gets included in the trade package.
"There’s some shooters that are on the floor that put fear in your heart, and he’s one of them, and those are hard players to find," Spears said. "There’s a lot of guys shooting 3s. There’s not a lot of guys you fear shooting 3s. This Tyler Herro hate from the beginning has been really confusing to me.
"If you could get Herro and (Jaime) Jaquez, and somebody was like, 'Well, they got (Anfernee) Simons,' so what? Add pieces. You can make other moves later, but I’m trying to get more depth. Are you convinced that everybody on that roster is better than Tyler Herro? He’s pretty good."
Last season, Herro averaged 20.1 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.2 assists for Miami. He has the chance to add value to the young Portland squad if he ever gets included in the trade package for Lillard.
