Why The Miami Heat Do The Deal
If Tyler Herro is lucky, he’ll be as good as Donovan Mitchell one day.
Herro is good. He’s a quality shot creator: a fearless shot taker and a tough shot maker. It just so happens that Mitchell shares those qualities at an even higher level.
Meanwhile, the Heat’s championship window may be closing. Jimmy Butler is 33, and he isn’t getting any younger. Bam Adebayo is still approaching his prime, but without a prime Butler, this team is short of contention.
Acquiring Mitchell pries the window open a little wider. Furthermore, it should allow the Heat to conserve Butler’s energy throughout the regular season.

If they enter the 2022-23 playoffs with a rested Butler and Mitchell, they’ll have significantly increased title odds. If all goes well, they won’t be missing Herro, or their draft picks, for very long.
