Follow live: The Trailblazers look to put an end to the Clippers four-game win streak

Trade discussions of Damian Lillard by the Portland Trail Blazers have been slow to materialize as Joe Cronin evaluates the market.

One complicating aspect of the trade is the value of Tyler Herro as the Blazers have signaled they are not interested in taking him back from the Miami Heat. Herro signed a four-year, $130 million extension with the Heat last year.

“I do think, as I talk to teams around the league, there is a framework with Miami where Portland could end up with three, four, at least several first round draft picks,” said Shams Charania on the Pat McAfee Show. “I don’t know if it will get to four. Miami has two they can trade outright. I think there are multiple teams who would trade at least one first round pick for Tyler Herro.

“So then you’re maybe looking at expiring contracts, potentially three first round picks, maybe more. Maybe other assets, swaps.”

Charania adds that this is a critical week for the Lillard trade discussions considering most of the NBA is in Las Vegas for Summer League.
