Tyler Herro News
Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro has been a popular name this offseason ever since he was attached to trade talks involving Damian Lillard. The Trail Blazers have made it clear that they're not interested in Herro as a returning piece for Lillard, so outside teams have been rumored to be included to get the deal to go through. The teams that have shown the most interest in taking on Herro have been the Jazz, Bulls, Hornets, and Nets. Each team is looking to add dynamic, younger scorers and he could fit on any one of those rosters. If he does find his way to a new team, his fantasy value may increase.
Miami Heat guards Tyler Herro and Josh Richardson could end up taking on bigger roles depending on what happens between now and the start of the season. According to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, if the team doesn't land Damian Lillard in a trade, then Herro and Richardson are two possible options to take on more of the primary ball-handling duties. Neither of them are playmakers when it comes to being a primary ball-handler, but this could increase the fantasy stock if they have more opportunities with the ball in their hands. This is a situation to monitor as the season rolls around.
According to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, the Raptors may get involved in the anticipated trade between the Heat and Trail Blazers surrounding All-Star guard Damian Lillard. It's clear Portland has no desire to add Tyler Herro to the roster. But Toronto has expressed interest, and although the club hasn't made it known who it would send in return, Pascal Siakam could be worth monitoring. Herro has been a reliable performer when healthy, averaging 17.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and shot 38.3% from deep in 242 regular season appearances. He also won the Sixth Man of the Year award in 2022. Unfortunately, the 23-year-old hasn't impressed on the defensive end, and he has been limited to 67 games or fewer in each season since entering the league in 2019. That said, Herro is expected to remain a potent fantasy presence even if he's not wearing a Heat uniform in 2023, especially for those in category formats.
According to ESPN senior NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski, the Trail Blazers have no interest in Heat guard Tyler Herro. Damian Lillard requested a trade not long after free agency began, with Miami emerging as his preferred destination. However, the Heat don't have much to offer Portland outside of Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo, so Herro and Duncan Robinson are two names mentioned in recent trade rumors. A third team, specifically the Brooklyn Nets, may get involved by offering the oft-injured Ben Simmons. But either way, it appears Herro could be nearing the end of his tenure with the Heat, although fantasy managers have heard that in the past.
