Miami Heat Deal Tyler Herro For All-Star In Latest Trade Idea

The Miami Heat must make some big decisions this offseason. With multiple contracts coming off the books along with the team's plethora of assets, young players and future tradable draft picks, this offseason is the perfect time to strike and become a contender in the Eastern Conference again. One big decision Pat Riley has on his hands is what to do with Tyler Herro. Despite a breakout season in 2024-25, Herro has seemingly become an expendable backcourt option and could find himself dealt this summer.

Bleacher Report released an article, proposing multiple trades involving the 2019 first-rounder. One of the most significant proposals comes from a trade between the Heat and Dallas Mavericks:

Heat receive: G Kyrie Irving

Mavericks receive: G Tyler Herro, G Kasparas Jakucionis, 2026 second-round draft pick (No. 41 overall)

When looking at the Heat's roster, Herro makes the most sense to be traded this offseason. Right now, it is unknown what the future holds for Herro in Miami. The 26-year-old was eligible for a contract extension in October but the team opted to extend young forward Nikola Jovic instead. Now, Herro enters next season with an expiring contract.

The Mavericks were one of the worst teams in the NBA in their first full season after trading Luka Doncic. However, their No. 1 overall pick, Cooper Flagg, won the Rookie of the Year award and it seems their rebuild is off to a great start. The team traded Anthony Davis to the Washington Wizards at the deadline and still have 34-year-old Irving on the roster. While Irving is a phenomenal player, it doesn't make sense for him to remain on the roster given the youth of the roster.

Herro would make a lot more sense for Dallas as a scorer opposite Flagg. If a trade like this were to happen, Herro would presumably sign an extension with the Mavericks. Dallas also receives a strong, young playmaking guard in Jakucionis who can develop alongside Flagg.

For the Heat, adding a veteran like Irving could go a long way in securing the backcourt this offseason. The Heat's backcourt has been out of sorts for the past few seasons and despite Irving recovering from his ACL injury, he would immediately become the best guard this team has had in quite some time. He is under contract through next season with a player option for the 2028-29 season. Irving and Bam Adebayo is a strong duo to help Miami get back to a contender in the Eastern Conference.
