"If the plan for the Heat is to trade Herro, who will have just one year remaining on his contract, they're going to be in for a rude awakening. Herro is far from the perfect player, but his expected trade value this summer is going to be far from who he is as a player. It's just the nature of where the NBA is at the moment as it pertains to the type of player Herro represents."
"Right now, there's just not much value for high-volume scorers that struggle on the defensive end of the floor. It's the issue that the LA Clippers ran into when they traded Norman Powell last summer, what the Hawks had to overcome to trade Young a couple of months ago, and likely what the Heat will face if they attempt to move on from Herro in a few months."
"Trading Herro, because of his one-sided play, was going to be difficult enough for the Heat. The fact that Herro has only played in 11 regular-season games is likely going to increase the level of difficulty in pulling off an offseason trade. At this point, the Heat have to be hoping that Herro can return to All-Star form at some point soon and perhaps finish the season off strong."
High-volume scorers who struggle defensively have diminished trade value in the current NBA. Teams are reluctant to swap meaningful assets for one-sided offensive players, especially with only one year left on a contract. Tyler Herro faces that market reality: his scoring upside is undercut by defensive limitations, nagging injuries, and a missed-majority-of-season history. Comparable situations emerged with Norman Powell and Trae Young trades, showing league-wide aversion to such player profiles. The Heat's ability to secure positive return hinges on Herro returning to All-Star form and proving health, but his recovery timeline remains unspecified.
