Jazz Could Have Interest In Trading For Tyler Herro

Jul 12, 2023 9:32 PM

The Utah Jazz have emerged as a team connected to taking on Tyler Herro should the Miami Heat send him out in a package to acquire Damian Lillard from the Portland Trail Blazers, reports Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports.

"Although outside of early rumblings about Brooklyn and Chicago, the only team even loosely connected as a Herro suitor has been Utah," writes Fischer.

The Jazz reportedly were connected to Herro during the 2022 offseason when the Miami Heat were mentioned as a possible trade partner for Donovan Mitchell. 

League personnel have optimism that the Heat will acquire a first round pick to send to Portland in exchange for Herro.

There has been speculation of the Brooklyn Nets trying to acquire Herro while also unloading Ben Simmons, but sources tell Fischer that no meaningful conversation on that front has occurred. Simmons has two years and nearly $80 million left on his contract.

Jazz Checked In With Blazers On Damian Lillard

Jul 6, 2023 1:47 PM

The Utah Jazz make an exploratory call with the Portland Trail Blazers about a trade for Damian Lillard, sources tell ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

The call didn't come with an offer as the Jazz are likely not on the same timetable for contention as Lillard. But the Jazz have a deep collection of future traded picks, which makes it possible for them to beat a competing offer while still holding some of those assets.

Lillard played collegiately in Utah for Weber State.
