Heat guard Tyler Herro shrugged off questions Tuesday about potentially being traded, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald writes.
Herro was making an appearance for his foundation in Miami. His name has popped up prominently as the potential centerpiece of a Heat trade package for a star like Kevin Durant or Donovan Mitchell.
“I mean ever since I’ve been here, my name has been in rumors. So rumors, they don’t bother me,” he said. “Whether I’m on the Heat or somewhere else, I’m getting ready for the season.”
Herro’s future with the franchise is cloudy, even if he’s still on the roster when training camp opens. He’s eligible for a rookie scale extension prior to opening night.
Miami could offer him a max five-year deal worth up to a projected $193MM or a four-year deal worth less than the max. If he signs an extension, it will be more difficult for the team to trade the reigning Sixth Man of the Year. Herro professed ignorance regarding the state of any negotiations.
“I mean, I know as much as you know,” he said. “I’m just waiting on my turn and we’ll see what happens. There’s a deadline, but I’m going to let my agent take care of that and see what happens.”
If Herro winds up elsewhere, he vows to remains productive.
“Like I said, whatever team I’m on, I’m ready to play,” he said.
Hope it’s only rumors. According to the rumor mill, Riley and Spoelstra are hell-bent on disassembling a very good team.
That said, what’s the word on Duncan Robinson?
You can’t rely on General Soreness… And after his tantrum last year he may out worn his welcome…
If Heat signs a good contract with Herro, his value is 60,
If Heat don’t , Herro value is 10
Herro has little trade value at this moment
Mitchell would be godsend for the Heat. A lot of people are somewhat down on him after last season but they forget great 3 seasons he had before last season. He’s a Super Star and will be for a decade to come.
Wtf Are “they,” talking about? Mitchell averaged 26/5/4 with a .448/.355/.853 slash. last season. Let’s compare that to on the finals MVP. Curry averaged 26/6/5 on a .437/.380/.923. Admittedly one huge difference is Curry won the ring but statically they were pretty close.

Seems Miami doesn’t want to give him a big contract.
If Miami gives him the extension they are not allowed to include him
I’m any trades for x amount of time.
