It's possible the Blazer's GM is trying to mitigate the fan backlash when they see Herro going to San Antonio and all they get back is an expiring Lowry contract and Duncan Robinson for shooting.
duh how can you give up a top 10 player whose under contract for the next four years for duncan robinson and kyle lowry or tyler herro andduncan robinson
as a gm you deserve to be fired if you do that
but but if trailblazers don't do it they will have trouble signing free agents in the future , which big time free agent has portland singed in the past 20 years?
