Turning the page on the Tyler Herro era was inevitable for the Miami Heat. <\/p>\n
After years of being dangled in trade talks and rumors, Herro was finally shipped out as part of Miami\u2019s Giannis Antetokounmpo package at the start of this summer. Unfortunately, he may have burned bridges on his way out\u2014 as breaking news of a physical altercation between Herro and Heat captain Bam Adebayo unfolded just weeks after the trade. <\/p>\n
Sources said that the incident occurred at a Las Vegas practice court, where Herro and Adebayo coincidently were there at the same time. Herro attempted to speak to Adebayo for the first time post-trade, but instead the Heat big man hit him without hesitation, sources said. This came after the new Milwaukee Bucks guard spoke negatively on Adebayo\u2019s game and contract value publicly on social media. <\/p>\n
In a recent episode of The Dan Le Batard Show, Heat president Pat Riley guest starred and spoke on a variety of topics. He discussed the Antetokounmpo trade, Miami\u2019s current LeBron James pursuit and his thoughts on how the Herro departure and drama with Adebayo unfolded<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n Pat Riley did not like hearing about the Herro-Adebayo news.<\/p>\n \u201cI didn\u2019t like it. I didn\u2019t like it for Bam\u2026 Social media has consequences and he got offended by it. I don\u2019t think they had time to talk about it.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cBoth of them are very competitive men. I was sorry to see it happened, more sorry to see what happened with Bam. It was over with, that\u2019s it. League\u2019s not going to do anything about it\u2026 some day they\u2019ll patch it up.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2013 Pat Riley via Dan Le Batard Show<\/p>\n ESPN\u2019s Shams Charania released a follow up report on the incident, noting that the league has decided to move forward from the altercation and will not be taking any further action. \u201cAfter discussing with the players involved and the NBPA, everyone would prefer to move on from this unfortunate circumstance, and no further action will be taken by the league,\u201d Charania tweeted the words from an NBA spokesperson.<\/p>\n Pat Riley shared that being in trade rumors bothered Tyler Herro over the years.<\/p>\n Despite ultimately being part of the Giannis haul, Herro was in trade rumors for practically every single star linked to Miami since he was drafted. That list includes James Harden, Donovan Mitchell, Kevin Durant (twice), Damian Lillard, just to name a few. <\/p>\n Riley iterated that being never-ending involved on the trade block did affect Herro, and detailed the tougher business side of the NBA in that regard.<\/p>\n \u201cThe ultimate contradiction in leadership and sports is while you\u2019re preaching loyalty and trust, in the same sentence you will tell them \u2018I will have to trade you one day.\u2019 If your name pops up in a trade, and it\u2019s just a rumor\u2014 because everything is a rumor today. It\u2019s from social media\u2026 I tell them it\u2019s going to happen. Don\u2019t get upset. It affected Tyler for many years. Every single trade had him in it.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2013 Pat Riley via Dan Le Batard Show<\/p>\n The unfortunate circumstances with Herro constantly being in those rumors stemmed from his salary situation and availability. Pulling off any trade for a star needs to align financially, and it was often Herro\u2019s contract that was needed to match. His constant injuries and availability concerns made him an easy choice to sell off. Out of the seven seasons Herro played in Miami, he was healthy in just one of them. <\/p>\n It was time for a fresh start from both sides involved.<\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n To check out our other content, click\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Follow Hot Hot Hoops on Twitter\/X\u00a0here<\/a>!<\/p>\n Follow Hot Hot Hoops on Instagram\u00a0here<\/a>!<\/p>\n Check out Hot Hot Hoops on Facebook\u00a0here<\/a>!<\/p>\n Subscribe to our YouTube channel\u00a0here<\/a>!<\/p>\n \t\t\t
