Why The Miami Heat Do The Deal
Consider this one “to be determined” for Miami. Herro remains injured. He’s not expected to return for the second round against the New York Knicks.
In fact, Herro isn’t likely to touch the floor again this season unless the Heat make an unlikely Finals run.
if they appear to miss him against New York, they may hesitate to make this deal. On the other hand, if they make a Conference Finals run, the Heat would have to start considering a deal like this one.
After all, it improves their depth and their asset base. The Heat could use a new starting point guard, and Dinwiddie ought to fit.

Meanwhile, a 3-and-D wing like Royce O’Neale should crack any team’s rotation. Throw in a pair of first-rounders, and the Heat should entertain this offer.
Unless they determine that they need Herro, of course.
