Miami Heat Rumors: 3 Tyler Herro trades to consider this offseason

Miami Heat fans fell in love with Tyler Herro during his rookie season. He played a huge role in leading the team to a Finals berth.

The wing out of Kentucky showed a ton of promise, creating high hopes for his sophomore year. While he didn’t play poorly, some were disappointed in his production.

He averaged 15.1 points, 5 rebounds, and 3.4 assists last year. Herro shot 43.9% from the field and 36% from three-point range.

Those are all respectable numbers, and most of them were improvements from his first year in the league. However, his playoff numbers saw a severe dip.

In the playoffs in the bubble, Herro averaged 16 points while shooting 43.3% from the field and 37.5% from deep. Meanwhile in the series vs Milwaukee last year, he averaged 9.3 points while shooting 31.6% from the field and 31.6% from deep.

This drop-off in production had the national media questioning his value to the team. Trading him this offseason slowly became more and more likely.

The Miami Heat supposedly held off on trading for James Harden because they wanted to keep Herro. While hindsight is obviously 20-20, this move could come back to bite the Heat.

Herro still has the potential to become a great basketball player. His scoring ability and confidence are well beyond his years.

However, if the Heat wanted to focus their efforts on winning a championship right now, trading Herro could be the best path to do so.

So, while the Heat might be better off keeping Herro and developing him, here are three trades to consider if the Miami Heat do decide to deal the young wing.
