Why The Miami Heat Do The Deal
It feels safe to conclude that the Heat don’t need Herro.
Barring a historic comeback from the Boston Celtics, this team is about to go to the NBA Finals. No team has ever come back from an 0-3 deficit. Meanwhile, the Heat will have made this entire run without Herro.
Why not trade him? This is an intriguing offer if their front office agrees. Harris is exactly the type of 3-and-D guard this team likes to employ.

With that said, the Heat get some upside here, too. If Jonathan Isaac can finally conquer his injury demons, he could make them a much better team.
Finally, the Heat get an opportunity to land an intriguing young prospect with the 11th overall pick here.
If they’re able to contribute next season, that’ll be a Cinderella story in its own right.
