Tyler Herro Piggybacks On Jimmy Butler Tampering Comment Regarding Damian Lillard

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro is siding with teammate Jimmy Butler on this one.

After it was announced the Milwaukee Bucks were trading for Damian Lillard, Butler took to social media to make a claim of tampering. The Heat were considered the frontrunner to land Lillard for the past two months.

The Bucks came out nowhere to finish the deal.

"Yo NBA, man," Butler said. "Y'all need to look into the Bucks for tampering. Y'all do. I'm just going to put that out there. Y'all didn't hear it me but I heard through somebody."

Moments later, Herro chimed in by siding with Butler. Herro posted, "What he said," referring to Butler's comments.

The fact Herro backed Butler was somewhat surprising. He was among the main players expected in the trade package for Lillard. So Herro would likely be on a different team had the Bucks not intervened.
