The Miami Heat have been heavily linked with a move for Kevin Durant, especially after the Brooklyn Nets forward reportedly shortlisted Miami as a trade destination. While nothing has materialized yet, it seems like Heat guard Tyler Herro is happy with the current roster. Herro explicitly didn't mention, though, that he was against the Durant and Donovan Mitchell trades.
Herro, who was a guest on Jake Paul's podcast, talked about running it back in the upcoming season. The reigning Sixth Man of the Year said if he was the general manager of the franchise, he would keep the roster intact.
With the Heat finishing last season just a win shy of the NBA Finals, Herro was of the opinion that the roster should remain unchanged.
"I would run it back. I think that's what we're doing," Herro said. "We brought everyone back and we were one game away from the finals. So, I would run it back."
According to reports, the Heat are also among the teams interested in acquiring Donovan Mitchell. With the New York Knicks pegged as the frontrunners, the Heat might pull their trade offer for the guard.
Miami's offer to the Brooklyn Nets to acquire Kevin Durant was seemingly below expectations. The New York-based franchise wanted Bam Adebayo to be a part of the deal, but Pat Riley and the front office have been reluctant to include the center. With that, the possibility of Durant heading to Miami has gone down in the past few weeks.
How did the Miami Heat fare in the 2021-22 NBA season?
The Miami Heat had a great run last season, finishing as the best team in the Eastern Conference with a 53-29 record. Miami's rich vein of form continued in the playoffs too.
After making short work of the Atlanta Hawks (4-1) in the first round, Miami beat the Philadelphia 76ers 4-2 in the semifinals. Erik Spoelstra's team faced the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference finals. This marked Miami's second trip to the conference finals in three years. The Heat were just one win away from making the NBA Finals, as their season ended with a 100-96 loss at home to Boston in Game 7.
Jimmy Butler had to do most of the scoring, with Tyler Herro dealing with an injury the entirety of the conference finals. Herro and the Heat will look to go all the way in the upcoming season.
Guess the Lakers players!
