The Miami Heat were eliminated in the Eastern Conference Finals by the Boston Celtics. And while that marks a successful season, the Heat are undoubtedly disappointed that they did not meet their goal of a championship.
In turn, the team will likely be looking to make some moves this summer. Unfortunately, since they won’t have any money to spend, the trade market will be their best pathway to improvement.
Duncan Robinson is the easiest trade candidate to single out, but with how poorly he played this past year, his value is in the dirt. That leaves Tyler Herro.
What NBA Trades are out there for Tyler Herro and the Miami Heat?
Considering he wants to be a starter, trading him now could be a good idea for the franchise. Pat Riley made it clear that if Herro wants to be a part of the starting lineup, he’ll have to earn it.
While this doesn’t necessarily mean anything, there’s no guarantee that Herro willingly accepts a bench role again if the team doesn’t feel as though he’s earned the right to be a starter.
If that’s the case, then trading him would be one of their only options. Plus, if they can get a better win-now option for Herro and avoid having to pay him, that might be a better plan than handing him a giant contract.
Herro will likely be looking for close to max money, and considering how clogged the Heat’s financial situation is, adding another massive deal to the books could put them in hot water.
With that in mind, here are two potential Herro trades for the Heat to consider this summer.
