"It's not just the injuries, the addition of Norman Powell, his upcoming contract decision, or even Erik Spoelstra's new offense. It's the culmination of everything together that could have him on the outs in Miami. Throw in that the Heat has its eyes on making a move for a superstar in the near future, and Miami almost has to consider trading Herro ahead of the February 5 NBA Trade Deadline."
"It's far from a sure thing, but, especially at this point, it would almost be malpractice if the Heat didn't at least explore Herro's trade market over the next week and a half. Whether that involves a bigger Giannis Antetokounmpo trade or not, the Heat needs to see where Herro's trade value currently stands. Even more so if there's no general consensus about whether they're going to give him a contract extension or not."
"With the amount of time that he's missed so far this season, there's an argument to be made that his trade value would be considered at an all-time low. Add in the fact that I'm not sure many teams are going to be lining up to give him a big contract extension, and it makes you seriously wonder what exactly Miami could get on the trade market for Herro."
Tyler Herro has shifted from near-untouchable core piece to potential trade candidate for the Miami Heat. Multiple factors contribute: injuries, the Norman Powell addition, an upcoming contract decision, and Erik Spoelstra's new offense collectively reduce his fit and perceived value. The Heat are pursuing a possible superstar move, increasing the incentive to examine Herro's market before the February 5 deadline. Time missed this season likely lowers his trade value, and limited interest in a large extension complicates return expectations. The Heat may prefer to keep him but must at least explore trade options amid organizational uncertainty.
