Tyler Herro Has Removed All Signs Of The Heat From His Twitter Profile Which Naturally Means The Damian Lillard Trade Could Happen At Any Moment

Ever since Dame officially went back on everything he's said for basically the last 8 years and finally demanded a trade from the Blazers, most people have probably all been praying they didn't run out of their Twitter limit before we got news on what the hell was going to happen. His camp made it pretty clear he only wanted to go to the Heat

The Blazers did their best on the team side to leak that they didn't really give a shit what Dame wanted, the package had to make sense

This isn't a Beal situation where Dame has a no trade clause, but it is a situation like every other star player that has demanded a trade and forced themselves to the team of their choosing even without the NTC. Just take a look around at every star trade these last few years, they all go to the team they want. So it's fair to assume Dame will eventually end up in Miami.

The issue there though is the Blazers have zero need for Tyler Herro given what their roster looks like. If you're now investing in Scoot/Simons/Sharpe, you do not need Tyler Herro. That's why we got the rumbings that the Blazers would be looking for that 3rd team to maybe send Herro too as well as accumulate more draft assets for their rebuild

Enter today. As we know, the first place you need to look with any of this stuff is social media. That's going to tell us what's happening before we get the official Woj/Shams bomb, and I'm pretty sure Tyler Herro is doing just that

Coincidence? I'm thinking no. Of all the times to clean out all signs of the Heat only for it to be nothing and you're still staying with the Heat? Fat chance. Now while this doesn't tell us where Herro is going, it sure as shit tells us that the Dame Woj/Shams bomb is coming at any minute. Whatever the trade ends up being, it's most likely either done or in the final stages. 

Could it be Dame to MIA, Herro to BKN, and just a shit ton of picks back to the Blazers? Is this maybe how the Nets get out of Ben Simmons' deal and send him to the Blazers? How nuts are we about to get?

All I know is, where there's smoke there's usually fire, and there seems to be a whole lot of smoke going off right now. This is sort of the final big domino to fall of free agency, and I bet we don't have to wait much longer.
