The Miami Heat’s 2024–2025 NBA season saw All-Star guard Tyler Herro emerge as their finest player, but that doesn’t mean the 25-year-old is the least valuable player.
In addition to the fact that his trade value is at its peak, the Heat lack a clear plan for the future. This implies that if Miami’s front management determines a complete rebuild is the best course of action, Herro may see a change of scenery. Despite having two seasons remaining on his four-year, $130 million contract, he is also looking for a significant contract extension.
Herro will receive payment in one form or another, but who can say that it will be from Pat Riley and his Miami company?
Tyler Herro is sent from the Heat to the Boston Celtics in a shocking trade proposal.
Let’s examine the trade scenario before the Heat fan base loses their mind over this (then throwing a fit is justified).
According to FanSided, a three-team blockbuster trade involving the Heat, Boston Celtics, and Sacramento Kings is possible. According to the agreement, Anfernee Simons will join the Kings, Herro will join the Celtics, and the Heat would receive compensation in the form of DeMar DeRozan, Sam Hauser, and a negotiable draft selection.
The Heat’s plan is straightforward: avoid Herro’s huge contract extension and begin rebuilding after DeRozan’s deal ends after the 2026–2027 season. The Heat could locate young talent or significant draft capital in exchange for Herro, which is the straightforward issue with this proposition.
Furthermore, it’s difficult to believe Riley would be motivated to send his best player to the organization’s fiercest opponent. This decade, the Heat have already faced the Celtics three times in the Eastern Conference Finals, winning twice.
It’s difficult to imagine Miami winning the upcoming Heat-Celtics playoff series if the Celtics sign Herro.
