Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro is aware he was in trade rumors involving Damian Lillard all summer. But Herro said those trade talks have only motivated him going into this season.
“Honestly, my goal this year is to get my name untouchable. That’s my goal,” Herro said. “At the end of this season, they won’t want to trade me. That’s my goal.”
Herro said that after Lillard was traded to the Milwaukee Bucks that he talked to Heat president Pat Riley and Heat coach Erik Spoelstra. Those conversations gave him clarity on where he stands in Miami.
“It’s the process of me coming back and being open to this,” Herro said. “I’m happy I’m here, I’m grateful I’m here. I understand it’s a business.”
