Could Miami Heat end up with Tyler Herro and Damian Lillard?

Q: The Heat need to make the math work without including Herro in a trade. – Paolo.

A: And that actually could be a possibility if the Trail Blazers prove willing to accept cap relief in the form of Kyle Lowry and draft capital. There are ways, through the addition of previous Heat agreements, to make that work. But the reality is that in this punitive luxury-tax environment, the Heat might not be positioned to be able to carry the contracts of both Damian Lillard and Tyler Herro, while also carrying the contracts of Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo. If that becomes the case, you could potentially see a Jordan Poole-type selloff of Tyler. But let’s first get to and past the Lillard issue before going down any further roads in a world where the Heat could wind up with both Dame and Tyler.
