"The Miami Heat will eventually have to choose between Tyler Herro and Norman Powell, and there's a real chance they could surprisingly do so before the February 5 NBA Trade Deadline. If so, the Heat could have the opportunity to make a move that no one, including their fans, would see coming. On the Game Theory Podcast, Sam Vecenie and Bryce Simon theorize whether the Heat could, somewhat surprisingly, trade one of Herro or Powell before the deadline."
"If the Heat wanted to capitalize on getting an asset out of one of them, before they lose one (or both) for nothing, there could be some merit to a trade. Especially with the way the Heath as operated in the past, it would be surprising to see a trade of Powell or Herro come to fruition before the deadline, but it might be the right move."
Miami must eventually choose between Tyler Herro and Norman Powell, with a real possibility of making that decision before the February 5 trade deadline. Herro has one year remaining on his contract, and Powell will test free agency this summer. The team is unlikely to sign both to extensions, creating incentive to trade one proactively to obtain an asset rather than risk losing a player for nothing. Powell likely attracts more trade interest because his expected extension would be cheaper than Herro's, making his salary fit more appealing. Trading either player would be surprising given past behavior but may align with roster management priorities.
