The Miami Heat have a big offseason ahead. There are multiple names expected to be included in trade discussions such as Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo, Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard and Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant.
Bleacher Report released an article, naming three options from every NBA team who are most likely to be dealt this offseason. The first member of the Heat mentioned is 2025 All-Star guard Tyler Herro.
"There's no way Pat Riley can make these comments about not trading Bam Adebyao and then actually shop him, right," the article wrote. "Assuming the NBA's second-highest single game scorer is safe, Herro should definitely be on the table (and has been in the past) if a brighter star is available. The 26-year-old is heading into the final year of his contract, one that Miami has been unwilling to extend at a high number."
Herro has been one of the team's best scorers over the past couple of seasons and especially had a breakout campaign during the 2024-25 season, earning his first All-Star nod. However, he missed a lot of time this season and Pat Riley has been reluctant to hand him a contract extension. He is only under contract for one more season and Miami may want to deal him while he still has a solid amount of trade value. The next player included is 2024 first-round pick Kel'el Ware.
"Ware, 22, is the player opposing teams should covet the most," the article added. "The 7-footer put up 12.8 points, 10.7 rebounds, 1.2 blocks and made 40.9 percent of his threes in 34 starts."
Ware has been viewed as one of the best young players on the team but with Bam Adebayo as the team's starting center, he could be the main piece of a blockbuster deal. The final player included on the list is Jaime Jaquez Jr., who shined off the bench.
"Jaquez should have been the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year after posting 15.4 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.7 assists and shooting 50.7 percent overall," the article concluded. "He's eligible to sign a rookie extension this offseason and may have found his ideal role on a contending team."
Jaquez Jr. had a phenomenal season after a sluggish sophomore campaign. Given his extension is upcoming, he could be dealt before Riley and company have to make a tough decision regarding whether to extend him or not.
