Rockets predicted to cut ties with Kevin Durant, acquire $120 million former All-Star

“He's undoubtedly more consistent (and lately, more available) than Tyler Herro. And inside-out actions with he and Bam Adebayo could give the Miami Heat a more dynamic attack than they've had in years.”

“Herro would give the Rockets another young(ish) guard and tough shotmaker to play in the backcourt with Reed Sheppard and/or Fred VanVleet. He's averaged at least 20 points, five assists, and two triples in each of the last five years.”

Bailey’s trade idea would swap Durant for Hero and Nikola Jovic. Herro, like Durant, can’t seem to escape yearly trade rumors. The Heat have reached the NBA Finals twice with Herro as a top-3 scorer, but Miami’s last two seasons haven’t been up to par.

Miami was swept by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round of last year’s postseason and failed to make the playoffs the year prior. Could a drastic move be in the cards for the three-time NBA champions? Perhaps, and if so, fans should expect Herro to be included in any significant trade they complete.

We all know that the Kentucky product isn’t on Durant’s level offensively, but he could be a better fit with the Rockets moving forward. Of course, we’ll only find out if Bailey’s trade concept materializes this summer.
