How Much Could Tyler Herro Match Donovan in Utah?

What about in the playoffs when the games mattered

I just don't get the logic:

• We have to trade Don NOW because we need to tank to get a high draft pick.
• Herro at 22 is "as good as Don" at the same age and could be better.
• People think we're a potential treadmill team building around Donovan
• Yet think the right path is to build around Herro/Duncan at Super max money

So how exactly does trading for him help us tank? How does it prevent us from being a treadmill team?

I feel the same way. I just don't see how any Miami deal makes sense in a 2 team deal. Even then, what team is going to give top notch draft picks for Herro?

I just don't see it.

A Herro-lead team by himself leads us to a top-5 pick. We have a great building block already and add a top-5 pick with him. It’s really not hard to understand.

Herro is worse than Clarkson. I mean Clarkson has improved and is worn battle. Here's I believe is a system phenomenon.

 

[Elizah Huge]

If you move Donovan you move Bogey/Beverley/Conley/ Beasley/Clarkson as well. Roll into next year with Herro/Vanderbilt/Kessler and get a top-5 pick.

Herro is worse than Clarkson.

By what metric?

By what metric?

No metric. I believe Herro is fools gold. Whereas I believe JC is a proven player.

What about Herro is fools gold. He’s improved every year he’s been in the league.

If Herro is basically young Donovan as you've claimed how does he lead us to a bottom 5 pick but Don leads us to a pick outside the top 10?

Why has he been absolutely horrendous in the playoffs the last two seasons?

 

[whatthe]

He had a great supporting cast. When I see him I see Matty Ice with a bit more athleticism.

That literally makes no sense. Clarkson doesn’t have a good supporting cast?

 

[YoungJefe]

So Herro is a young DM, the player that led us to the playoffs 5 straight seasons, yet Herro is leading us to a bottom 5 pick. Something about this math doesn't add up.

Great building block that’s basically Donovan 2.0

Leads us to a bottom 5 pick

How?

Also why are the Heat going to leverage their draft future for Don when they already have a player on the same trajectory? And how does their 2 picks get it done?
