Miami Heat: 3 Reasons Why Tyler Herro Move Shouldn’t Be Considered

The Miami Heat need all the efficiently priced, yet effective, guys they can find. Tyler Herro is one of those.

The Miami Heat are now in the process of tinkering, re-making their team, and giving themselves a facelift prior to next season. After going out extremely sad to the Milwaukee Bucks in the first round of the playoffs in sweeping fashion, they will surely look to avoid such a fate moving forward.

With that though, you need to add efficiently priced, yet effective, options to your roster. When thinking about efficiency and effectiveness though, it gets no more real than Tyler Herro.

For the umpteenth time, the potential it was believed he would see this year wasn’t quite met but there is still a ton there, but what he was this year was still decent. Take part in this experiment.

Say the name on the back of his jersey wasn’t “Herro” or the name on the front wasn’t some iteration of “Miami Heat”. Would you then look at this second-year player’s production, for the team he played on, in the situations they found themselves in, at the price of his salary and speak against it?

Or… would you say to yourself, “at that rate, that’s a good bargain, because even though they want him to be better, they are getting more than the production his salary deems he should give”. If you are confused, here it is spread out.

The Miami Heat are still getting more or as much from Tyler, over the past two years, than they would have gotten from another guy signed to the roster that makes the same amount of money as he does. The roster will be full anyway and guys have to make a salary.

What that means is that they would pay somebody, anyway, right? When you look at Tyler’s production relative to his salary, expectations be darned, he outplays his pay.

That’s the third reason to keep him around. Though you know he can be great, being a rotational guy that outplays the money you are being paid is always a win for your organization, even if you have all the potential in the world.

Listen, if James Harden or Devin Booker lite is in there somewhere, trust, it’s wanted. If it isn’t though, he’s a good little rotational player right now, with ice in his veins, who can create, finish, and hit a big shot.

His max potential is wanted, but on the way there, this is a good consolation prize. These are the three reasons why they shouldn’t move Tyler Herro.
