Seemingly tired of being involved in trade rumors for Trail Blazers superstar Damian Lillard, Tyler Herro made sure to send a message to the Miami Heat on Twitter on Sunday.

The former Sixth Man of the Year removed “Miami Heat Guard” from his bio on the site, making clear his frustrations with the franchise that he’s spent his entire four-year career with.

After Lillard officially made his trade request Saturday—stating his preference to join the Heat—Bleacher Report’s Chris Haynes reported that Miami was preparing to send a package that centered around Herro and Duncan Robinson as well as draft compensation.

It’s tough spot for Herro and the Heat as any deal for Lillard would have to include the 23-year-old to make the math work as he’s about to enter the first season of his four-year, $130 million extension.

However, it may not be such a straight forward deal as Portland is looking for a third team to reroute Herro to as it doesn’t seem to keen on adding him to the mix alongside Scoot Henderson and Shaedon Sharpe, per Haynes.

      I know Hero is great but as a Heat fan what do you think his ceiling is? Borderline all star?

        Yeah, I’d say borderline all-star. I really wish we could of seen him this playoffs, but it really looks like he may have reached his ceiling. Different from Bam, who himself is a borderline all-star now, but really looks like he could take it to another level when it clicks.
