5 Players the Miami Heat might replace Tyler Herro with by the trade deadline

2. Jerami Grant

Back to Pat Riley’s good old buddy Joe Cronin with the Portland Trail Blazers, they have a pair of pretty attractive win-now pieces to trade for. Jerami Grant is another name that’s been floated around the trade market, and could provide the Heat with the best frontcourt partner for Bam Adebayo of his entire career.

Grant is coming off a season in which he averaged 21 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.8 assists on 45.1% shooting. He can also spread the floor for a 6-foot-7 forward, going 40% from 3-point range just a year ago. This is the ideal, small-ball type of power forward that Erik Spoelstra loves to work with. 

Although he isn’t a guard who can essentially "replace” Herro, he is still a really solid third-scoring option to place behind Jimmy Butler and Adebayo.

There is a plethora of two-way versatility with Grant, something that Heat brass loves when it comes to bringing in new players. The only issue comes with negotiations between Cronin, who reportedly was unrealistic yet again on trade talks with the LA Lakers this summer on a potential Grant trade.
