The Toronto Raptors are interested in Tyler Herro, per @MikeAScotto

best i can do is malachi and a second
Trent upgrade
I don’t know if like people just don’t actually watch basketball or not but this dude is like way better than people are acting like he is
Unless we’re giving up Trent + filler, or Boucher + OPJ + Thad + picks, it ain’t happening. Herro is making 27m next year, tough to trade for him without downgrading our current squad
I got kinda nuts on the trade machine and built out a 4 team deal where we merge a Blazers/Heat trade and a Raptors/Hawks trade
Raps get: Herro, Bufkin, Hawks FRP (probably the 2024 Kings pick they have)
Heat get: Lillard, Nurkic
Hawks get: Siakam, Jovic
Blazers get: Lowry, Hunter, Okungwu, Jaquez, 3 Heat FRPs
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Blazers get 1 very good young player in Okungwu, another prospect in Jaquez, 3 FRPs, and salary relief in getting an expiring Lowry for Nurkic/Lillard long term money. Hunter also fits them very well – would be a good fit with Scoot/Sharpe/Simons I feel.
Raps get a shooter and a big help to their half court offence. Bit of a redundancy with GTJ so we’d have to figure that out. Also get Bufkin and a FRP.
Heat get Lillard and a backup big that they desperately need
Hawks get Siakam to fill out their big 3 and get 1 young guy in Jovic back.

EDIT: After some additional thought and feedback I’ve revised the trade:
Raps get: Herro, Bufkin, multiple Hawks SRPs
Heat get: Lillard, Nurkic
Hawks get: Siakam, Jovic, Keon
Blazers get: Lowry, Hunter, Capela, Jaquez, 3 Heat FRPs, maybe some seconds?
Okungwu was a sticking point from what I’ve gathered. If you swap him out for Capela and send Keon somewhere (chose Atlanta here) money still works, but it might have swung too far away for Portland.
Herro played at an all star level last year. I seen raptors fans comparing him to GTJ
People laughing this off are getting way too caught up in the Portland narrative of it. The reason they don’t want him is because they already have 3 good young guards and he would be redundant. In the flip side, the Raptors have maybe 1 good young guard in GTJ who they don’t seemed too enthralled with. I’d love if we got Herro.
Trent+Thad I’d do.
Also opens up a roster spot, for any return we get for Siakam.
Could also explain why we haven’t extended Trent yet.
Why yes, yes I would like a player who can score and play make for others.
Swoop in for cheap like how Cavs did for Jarrett Allen in the Harden trade? I would love that
Let’s do it
Yes please
Am i missing something with Herro
That is really good.
Boucher Otto Thad Flynn 2028 protected 1st for herro.
Blazers get salary clearing boucher and flynn. And a 1st.
Barnes Gary Og Siakam Poeltl
Scheoder Herro McDaniels Precious Wood
Dowtin Dick Koloko
And sign wood to a vet min for a backup centre to space the floor.
Not gonna lie top 4 in the east.
Yes please
Please do it
I would definitely take him over paying Trent, but Portland doesn’t need Gary.
He’s good, not really at defense and makes 30 mil a year. Literally ~1/4 of the salary cap
~~Aside from his cringe ass tattoos,~~ dude is a bucket getter
Yes we should 100% be getting in on this trade to get Herro. He fills many different gaps in this roster.
Makes sense, he’d be a good fit.
Y’all do realize they want picks for Herro, right?
He immediately becomes the best guard on our team. Don’t understand the Herro hate. He’s a bucket and young.
Sign me up! I’ve always him on this roster! Gonna break out really soon!
If we could get Herro and extend Siakam I’d be very interested to see how this core could perform this year.
Herro-OG-Scottie-Pascal-Poeltl
Schroder-GTJ-Dick-McDaniel-Koloko
Is a much more balanced lineup.
White boy summer.
