Tyler Herro's future with Heat uncertain if Giannis trade doesn't happen

Summary

Tyler Herro's return to the Miami Heat could be impacted if Giannis Antetokounmpo is not acquired from the Milwaukee Bucks. Herro is set to earn $33 million in the upcoming season, making him a significant player heading into the final year of his contract. The Heat have proposed substantial trade offers, including draft picks and players, but no decision is expected until after the NBA Finals conclude on Saturday or once the draft begins on June 23. The potential roster changes hinge on the outcome of the Bucks’ decisions moving forward, with the Heat's youth also being a concern if Giannis is not added to the lineup.
