Grade the trade: 4-team pitch shakes up Heat's roster, brings All-Star to Miami

What would the Miami Heat look like after tweaking their roster and adding a three-time All-Star to the frontcourt?

Out goes Tyler Herro, who has had his fair share of great moments in a Heat uniform. Yet there is a sense that the marriage between Herro and Miami could end one day due to the Heat's log-jammed backcourt. Would it be for a trade like this where the Heat net Julius Randle and Miles McBride in return? And would Pat Riley be willing to send out two second-round picks along with Herro?

It's difficult to say for certain because the Heat have considered trading Tyler Herro multiple times, but only for higher-caliber players like Damian Lillard, most recently.

This raises the question of whether it's worth it for Miami to trade Herro for a combination of Julius Randle and McBride, especially considering that Randle had season-ending shoulder surgery in April of this year. Randle, who is 29, was having an outstanding season for the Knicks before his injury, averaging 24 PPG while shooting just above 47%.

As far as McBride, he would bring more playmaking ability off the bench for a Miami offense that is lacking on-ball creativity from their backcourt. If Heat were to trade Herro in this scenario, it would clear a loaded backcourt, in turn giving Terry Rozier more control of the offense on a game to game basis. Since the Heat traded for Rozier this past season, he has shown an ability to be a willing scorer while still also getting his stars in Bam Adebayo and Jimmy Butler involved.

Trading Herro is certainly a way to fully give a rim-pressuring guard like Rozier more room to be himself alongside the ignitable shooter that Duncan Robinson is. McBride coming off the bench in this situation will provide quick scoring, cerebral guard play, and an established ability to shoot 3's (shot 41% last season) for Miami.
