"Even though Herro has only played in six games so far this season, I'd argue they've gotten all the clarity they need. It's one of the Heat's big burning questions that has been answered when no one expected it. This is not to overly criticize Herro. He's a good player. A very good player, but he's also a huge defensive liability. And, honestly, his talent on the offensive end of the floor doesn't overly compensate for his defensive incapabilities."
"And here's the big problem with that: the Heat have so many more encouraging developments that go beyond relying solely on Herro. From all indications, the Bam Adebayo and Kel'el Ware combination is only going to get better, especially as the latter begins to hit his individual stride. Norman Powell has also looked like a tremendous fit, playing much of the Herro role for the majority of this season, and is everything that the Heat generally looks for in a veteran piece."
The Miami Heat should trade Tyler Herro because his defensive liabilities outweigh his offensive contributions. He has played six games this season, providing clarity ahead of a contract decision. Bam Adebayo and Kel'el Ware show promising chemistry that reduces reliance on Herro. Norman Powell has filled Herro's role effectively while avoiding large future salary demands. Davion Mitchell provides the point-of-attack defense and team-leading assists. The team still lacks a consistent isolation closer to carry offense late in games. Herro has shown closing ability at times but lacks the consistency needed for that role.
