Golden State Warriors can target Tyler Herro

Much like the Golden State Warriors, the Miami Heat have found themselves in a bit of an awkward position. There isn’t too much time to win a championship with Jimmy Butler (31) and Goran Dragic (35) as key pieces. While Bam Adebayo has proven he’s ready to compete at 23, Tyler Herro is becoming the odd-man-out due to a shakey sophomore stint.

Herro was a crucial reason for Miami’s trip to the 2020 NBA Finals. The rookie had an electric ECF, averaging 19.2 points, 6.3 rebounds and 4.8 assists on 52 percent shooting to help the Heat advance.

Though his sophomore stats all improved, Herro’s value tanked this season. The Heat limped to the playoffs and were swiftly put out of their misery in four games by Milwaukee. All the while, Herro shot just 6-of-19 from deep in an early exit.

It’s possible the Heat will opt to swap Herro for a collection of lottery picks and complete a sign-and-trade for Kelly Oubre. This gives Miami an injection of more youth and a clearer picture for the future post-Butler.

As for the Dubs, Herro is a combo-guard who can shoot and pass the ball at a high rate. He’s comfortable off-screens and scoring off-the-dribble. In spite of his sophomore slump, Herro is a natural fit in Golden State and still has a bright future at 21-years of age.
