Miami Heat Star Tyler Herro

Miami Heat Receive: G/F Gary Harris, F Chuma Okeke, G Devin Cannady, 2023 First-Round Pick (ORL), 2025 First-Round Pick (ORL)

Orlando Magic Receive: G/F Duncan Robinson, G Tyler Herro

In the NBA, flexibility is as integral to success as anything else. This summer, the Miami Heat have been learning that the hard way.

The Miami Heat are linked to virtually every star on the market. They just don’t have the means to acquire them. This group is extremely short on draft capital. The best trade chip they have is Bam Adebayo, but in all likelihood, they’re not looking to trade Bam Adebayo.

Here, the Miami Heat replenish their draft stock with a pair of first-round picks from the Orlando Magic. Of course, they’re biting a significant bullet in trading Tyler Herro.

In some ways, they’re cutting off their nose to spite their face, but with careful maneuvering, this deal could put them in a better position to actually trade for a star down the road.

Meanwhile, Orlando gets Banchero’s co-star in Tyler Herro. Granted, he’s not as big of a name as the other players we’ve linked the Magic to here, but at 22, he’s also got the most room to grow alongside the Magic’s core.

Best of all, he doesn’t even have to leave Florida.
