CROSSROADS: Miami Heat TO TRADE Tyler Herro? Latest on Giannis Pursuit IGNITES Roster Questions
The Miami Heat could be facing a major crossroads as Tyler Herro’s future hangs in the balance amidst relentless trade rumors. Is it finally time for the organization to move on, or does Herro deserve a long-term role in South Beach? Pat Riley and the front office’s silence, ongoing Giannis Antetokounmpo trade whispers, and Herro’s social media moves spark debate on whether the relationship is irreparably broken.
Wes Goldberg and David Ramil break down Herro’s trade value, exploring his fit with teams like the Detroit Pistons, Minnesota Timberwolves, or Dallas Mavericks, and what Miami stands to lose if they part ways with their top closer and proven shot-maker. The conversation covers Herro’s reputation as a clutch performer, Miami’s shifting roster priorities, and Doc Rivers’ surprising praise. With the roster’s stability in question and the Heat’s long-term strategy at stake, can Miami afford to gamble on Herro’s potential—or is a blockbuster move inevitable?

GTFOH WITH ALL THIS TYLER BS… HE GETS EXPOSED YEARLY ‼️👎🏾🤣
If trade doesn’t happen before draft day, zero 0️⃣ % chance heat gets giannis . Bucks want a young blue chip player. Heat don’t have that . Just one blue chip player and no draft compensation, they will do the trade
whether or not Tyler will get traded I still want my dude to take ultimate fighting courses, jujitsu, karate, or whatever 😂 I’m tired of seeing him get bullied out there. It’ll be better for his career & life if he gets trained, seriously.
Herro.was great in his role when Jimmy was the number 1 option. You can't make him a 1st option. That's not what he is. Like Bam. I'd rather see the Heat trade Bam and picks for Giannis and add the freak to this roster. It's deep. Better than the Bucks title team. The Bucks could then trade Bam to a contender for another 3 picks.
The only people thinks herro has a value are stupid heat fans. 28 other teams doesn’t want him, now reports say Detroit is interested but he ain’t worth a 2nd round pick.
He was great as the sixth man..
All the Bam Stans want you to believe Tyler was the problem. But the Captain Bam era is going to continue to be the worst losing era for the Heat even after Herro is gone
We’ll always remember that Jimmy loved Tyler and didn’t like Bam.
Heat fans= "Milwaukee should be happy to take Herro! He's a young All Star that can give you 25 points on any night!"
Heat fans= Doesn't want to extend said young All Star that can give you 25 points on any night
😂😂😂
By the X’s & O’s Ware at center as a stretch big next to Giannis & Herro on the permitter drawing attention to give Giannis space is 💯xs a better fit than “i have no offensive bag & play the same position Bam”. Riley used to be a winner & cut throat & now he’s soft and emotional & all his moves produce is more losing, hence they will keep Bam & just keep losing. But hey I’m sure the defense will be top 10 while they lose😂😂😂😂
You would think Herro was Dame the way they was Glazing. The best playoff runs have came with out him.
Giannis is not a typical closer per se but he is the engine. Hes always had Middleton or Dame as his closers.
Tyler good but not good enough
THE TYLER DELUSIONAL EPISODE 😂
Why Bam is untouchable is beyond me
16:52 David saying with Herro at Pistons, Detroit would win the ECF show he’s the dumber between the two! 😂😂😂
Preferring Tyler over Jimmy for a game winner is absolutely insane. I like Tyler and wish we didn't have to lose him but if he's been our closer for awhile than he's failed at the role since we've given up the most double digit leads in the league since the start of last season
you guys don't want him why in the world would the buck want him. herro is not that good
Cmon guys. We all know he is just a salary filler with an expiring contract. If he had more than one year left he would need draft picks attached to trade him. No one is extending him. He is 15-18 on a 2 year contract going forward
An all star??? This is embarrassing. Guys you don’t need to try and hype him. If so why don’t you do whatever can to keep him and extend him. Boston doesn’t want a terrible defender and another guy who just throws up 3’s
Tyler isn’t a dam all star and should have been traded, he’s a come off defender
