Tyler Herro’s Cryptic Instagram Post Raises Damian Lillard Trade Talk
Miami Heat’s Tyler Herro has posted multiple cryptic messages this offseason, keeping fans on their toes. The latest of which could be the last.
On Thursday afternoon, Herro posted a picture of him on flight with lyrics from rapper Rod Wave’s song Nostalgia. The lyrics ``Ain't no friends in this business'' have caused speculation about Herro’s departure to rise.
The rest of the song lyrics in his Instagram post went as follows. “Cut-throat competition, lot of ****** get inside this position and lose the vision so I'm focused more than ever," Wave sang. "Been grindin’ like we ain’t winnin’ i was stuck inside that bottom with.”
Alongside this cryptic post, reports suggest that Portland Trail Blazers superstar Damian Lillard may get traded within the coming days.
Herro’s involvement in the trade is expected to come from a third team due to the Blazers lack of interest in him. After drafting point guard Scoot Henderson with the No. 3 pick and Shaedon Sharpe in the lottery the year prior, Portland’s reasoning is valid.
For Heat fans, this is a bittersweet relationship. Herro has played a pivotal role on the team after being drafted in 2019. On the other hand, Lillard increases their chances of winning a championship next season.
