One NBA writer is proposing that the Los Angeles Clippers acquire Tyler Herro from the Miami Heat in a blockbuster trade. Lee Tran of Fadeaway World proposed the following trade idea between the Clippers and Heat:
Miami Heat Receive: Paul George
Los Angeles Clippers Receive: Tyler Herro, Duncan Robinson, 2026 First-Round Pick (MIA)
“Tyler Herro isn’t quite an All-Star-level player, but there’s no doubt that he is a quality shooting guard that can score fairly well,” Tran wrote in his latest NBA trade column. “This past season with the Heat, Herro averaged 20.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 4.2 assists per game, while shooting 37.8% from 3PT range. He would give the team a good starter at the shooting guard position, and perhaps an expanded role on the Clippers will help him spread his wings and become a star.”

Herro has removed “Miami Heat guard” from his Twitter bio because he’s expecting to be involved in the Damian Lillard trade. Lillard has requested a trade from the Portland Trail Blazers and only wants to get traded to the Heat. However, Portland and Miami haven’t made any progress on a deal.
A Kentucky product, Herro averaged 20.1 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.2 assists last season for the Heat while shooting 43.9% from the field, 37.8% from beyond the arc and 93.4% from the free-throw line. He was third on the team in points per game, trailing only Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo.

The 23-year-old Herro signed a four-year, $120 million rookie contract extension with the Heat in October 2022. The Milwaukee native has career NBA averages of 17.7 points, 4.9 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 242 games with Miami. He broke his hand in the first round of the 2023 NBA playoffs versus the Milwaukee Bucks and never came back.
The Heat lost to the Denver Nuggets in the 2023 NBA Finals in five games.
