Heat are expected to acquire Herro for $215 million in a blockbuster NBA trade.
Jimmy Butler’s future is the main topic of conversation this summer, but the Miami Heat have a number of personnel decisions to make this offseason. Miami has the opportunity to consider moves while holding Butler.
The Heat would sign Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young, according to the most recent Bleacher Report suggestion. Following the NBA draft, the Hawks may be in the midst of a rebuild after trading for Dejounte Murray.
According to the trade proposal, Miami would transfer Young to Atlanta for Tyler Herro, Duncan Robinson, and Nikola Jovic. As part of the massive trade, the Heat are also handing the Hawks two future first-round picks (2029, 2031).
In the June 29, 2024, live broadcast, the Bleacher Report analyst discussed possible NBA trades that may occur prior to free agency. “You give up Tyler Herro, who I think goes in any star deal,” the analyst said. He is only the component that has to be shifted.
“You give up Duncan, who brings in the money, and you give the Hawks a shooter who they might be able to turn around again.” Jovic is a promising young player, and with Jimmy Butler’s future uncertain, there are two intriguing first-round selections.
With three seasons left on his four-year, $120 million contract, Herro may be keen to leave Miami. Herro’s 2024–2025 cap hit is a substantial $29 million.
The Hawks haven’t been able to get Young in a deal that has inspired the front staff to make a trade thus far. Herro gives Atlanta at least a legitimate scorer, but the guard has struggled with injuries lately. It’s conceivable that the Hawks would rather have these potential draft selections in 2029 than later.
Herro was limited to 42 games for Miami in the previous season. In these few games last season, the guard averaged 20.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 4.5 assists per game while shooting 39.6% from outside the arc.
