Herro sits at the center of Miami's rebuild around a younger core; with Butler and Adebayo, Herro’s development remains the engine. The Heat’s cap moves and Powell’s addition could unlock more dynamic lineups, with Herro expected to shoulder scoring and playmaking as the offense scales.

Herro serves as the primary comp for Reaves’ desired $30M/year ceiling. The article uses Herro as a benchmark for a multi-year, high-value deal, illustrating a potential cost-and-credibility anchor if Reaves proves to be a high-level scorer who can keep playoff-level production consistent.

Herro anchors the Heat guard rotation, shaping Smith’s backcourt role. Hardened by a strong 2023-24 season and a healthy top unit, his presence sets the pace for minutes and shot opportunities for others, including Smith and Jakucionis.

Herro is framed as a dynamic scorer who could be rerouted to Toronto as part of the three-team swap, bringing bench-creating offense and shot creation that would complement Barnes in the Raptors’ lineup while opening up room in the Bulls’ rotation if he lands in Toronto’s system.
