NBA Trades: 3 Tyler Herro trades to help the Miami Heat improve: Utah Jazz
Heat receive: Donovan Mitchell
Jazz receive: Tyler Herro, Max Strus, Duncan Robinson, 2024 1st-Round Pick, 2026 1st-Round Pick (Top-20 Protected)
This is easily the most obvious trade that could be made. Donovan Mitchell has been linked to the Heat constantly, and if he were to get trades, Tyler Herro would absolutely be involved.
Mitchell would give the Heat the second star that they so clearly need, and while Herro could eventually turn into that player, Mitchell is better suited to help them win now.
Meanwhile, the Utah Jazz would be resetting their roster while still remaining competitive. Herro is still only 22 years old, and given enough time, could turn into a perennial All-Star.
The Heat would probably want to keep Max Strus in this trade, but with Danny Ainge at the helm, Utah will probably demand he be included, as he’s turned into an elite three-point shooter. Andi if you’re the Heat, you can’t let Strus get in the way of landing Mitchell.
And while the Jazz would have to take on Duncan Robinson’s contract, if he can turn things around and become a 40% three-point shooter again, that deal won’t look so bad.
Utah would be retooling their franchise (with Rudy Gobert will on the roster, most likely), while the Heat would add a new star to the mix to help them compete for a title.
