While the management of Blazers does not intend to conclude a dry exchange with Miami to satisfy Damian Lillard’s wish, and even says he is ready to wait “months”, it seems increasingly certain that the only option for “Dame” to join Florida is the implementation of a three-way transfer teams.
A triangle exchange of which Tyler Herro, despite himself, would be the centerpiece. Indeed, it is likely that an exchange is possible without the back of the Heat being sent to this third team to unblock the situation. A few days ago, this third team was possibly Brooklyn, open to the idea of facilitating a trade to recover the former Kentucky. This time it’s Toronto, according to Hoopshype.
After the departure of Fred VanVleet to Houston at the beginning of the month, the recruitment of Tyler Herro would in any case offer the Raptors an immediate reinforcement on the rear drive, in addition to an important piece to approach the future.
But that would probably also mean parting ways with Pascal Siakam or OG Anunoby, in addition to draft picks, to satisfy Portland. In view of the reconstruction that is looming there, we imagine that the second, younger (25 years old), would interest the Blazers more, while “Spicy P” will be out of contract next summer.
