Tyler Herro Reveals What Really Happened Before Heat's Giannis Trade

Tyler Herro said the Miami Heat had real momentum toward a Giannis Antetokounmpo trade before the deal ultimately never happened. Appearing on SiriusXM NBA Radio, the former Heat guard—who spent seven seasons in Miami—described how the organization believed a “lockout day” could be used to close an agreement during last season’s trade-deadline window. Herro also admitted he wanted the move, describing years of being linked to blockbuster packages whenever a new superstar became available. He framed the eventual trade push as a fresh-start option, while also noting Pat Riley saw something of himself in Herro.
