Miami Heat: Three reasons the Heat shouldn’t consider trading Tyler Herro

The Miami Heat are still composing next season’s roster. Here’s why they shouldn’t trade one of the newest Miami Heat players, in any deal.

Tyler Herro wasn’t a hit on the night of the NBA Draft. Many called it a bad pick, while some Miami Heat supporters even scratched their heads in question and disbelief.

Two weeks into NBA Summer League play, Herro has not only changed the tune of misinformed fans, but he has somewhat put everyone that follows the NBA on notice. So much so, that he was a Day One standout from the California Summer League. He was also the second leading scorer in the California league at 19 points per game.

This is the first reason why the Miami Heat shouldn’t trade the rookie marksmen. This is all speculation based on recent Miami Heat rumors that have them potentially being active participants in a future Russell Westbrook trade. It is also based on the notion that Herro has yet to sign his rookie contract with the team, while second-rounder KZ Okpala has signed his deal and the fact that a rookie can’t be traded until 30 days after signing a contract.

Looking more at Herro’s Summer League performance thus far, he has not only been one of the Miami Heat’s best players(if not the absolute best), he has also been one of the better players entirely. He has been the toast of social media, showcasing not only his shooting ability but also the other aspects of his well-rounded game.

While Herro is known for being a shooter, the above clip highlights his pension to penetrate with the dribble drive as well. What cannot be understated as well though, is his ability to be a facilitator and set up for his teammates. This should come easy for Herro, as his scoring ability will certainly draw quite a bit of defensive attention.
