"If given the opportunity, the Miami Heat should look to make a Tyler Herro for Ja Morant swap. It's risky and would come with plenty of pushback (especially from a portion of the fan base), but it's a gamble that could pay off in a significant way down the line for Miami. And with how the season has begun to fall off the rails, I'm not really sure why the Heat wouldn't be willing to, at the very least, consider such a move."
"At best, they're a Play-In Tournament level team and don't have a ceiling higher than a first-round playoff squad. That's not going to cut it for an organization that has prided itself on championship-or-bust. That's where a risk like taking on the reclamation project of Morant could make sense for Miami. At this point, there's not much else they can do to shake things up."
"First things first, this is not a call for the Heat to do whatever it takes to acquire Morant. I wouldn't advise the Heat to sell the farm for Morant. In fact, I'd only consider such a deal if this were as close to a straight-up Herro for Morant swap as it gets. That's probably technically not possible because of salary, but maybe a two-for-one swap would work. If it takes a first-round pick to get a deal across,"
Miami needs an injection of elite talent because the current roster has a limited ceiling around Play-In or first-round outcomes despite relative health. A near-straight Tyler Herro for Ja Morant swap would be risky but could offer significant upside if Morant reclaims his previous form. The Heat should avoid sacrificing the future or "selling the farm," preferring a close one-for-one exchange or minimal additional assets. Salary constraints might require a two-for-one or a pick, but the franchise should consider the gamble given roster stagnation and championship-or-bust expectations.
