Herro's defense is Jordan Poole level..Dipo is a good defender
Robinson as well, and I have even less optimism about Duncan's defense improving
Herro should be traded, i still think he can fetch something..as for Robinson he's as playable as bertans and on the same contract basically..so Heat are stuck with that one, it's untradeble without adding significant assest\s

First question. No he is not worse but has failed to deliver in the playoffs. He might actually still have some trade value and I wouldn t mined trading Herro in a trade package for a Lillard/Mitchell type player

To your second question. Yes, yes, absolutely yes. And not only is Duncan worse than Strus but he gets paid 8 times the salary

I think this was a very successful year for Miami and it's silly to think that it wasn't because of how a couple of shots went in the end of game 7 in the ECF. This could've easily been a Finals team and if they can have another go with exactly the same performance, they should. They're right there with the best of them, you don't just throw that away.

The Heat need to stop trying to rely on aging stars, has-beens and undrafted players to win championships.

This model can win playoff games but it can't win a ring.

Either get top 10 players in free agency or stand pat.

What was the point of getting Lowry? He's old ass hell and wasn't that good of a player in his prime anyway, so isn't like there was any residual talent left anyway.

What was the point of giving a freaking shooter that can't guard anybody 90 million freaking dollars?

Lol it's like when the Heat shelled out dough for James Johnson, Dion Waiters and Goran Dragic.

Their entire model of building a team is just cheapness.

They don't wanna lose to get draft to get good young players with potential. They rather pay cast aways and old guys. They like to show out in free agency but then when they don't get their guy, they panic and blow their wad.

Only move I can see them take is trading Herro for Dame or Beal.

Lol or watch they trade Lowry and Robinson for Westbrook.

Are we sure Tucker's opting out? The Celtics ran him off the floor tonight. If you can't keep up with Horford and Grant Williams, that doesn't bode well for your future.

I don't think they need a big change - just need a bit more playable size and secondary scoring. Something around Duncan Robinson+Herro for Julius Randle might be a win-win. He'd fit their physical style and adds a little bit of secondary playmaking. Oladipo can take over the Herro role, as he'll likely look better next year.

I’d sign someone like Harrel instead, Tucker is good defensively but the Heat could use someone that’s a bit better offensively.

He wasn't good defensively tonight. He was old.

The offence from the Heat backcourt was terrible. They need a solid guard that can create and score against tough teams. Could also use a 3&D wing role player. Give Jimmy & Bam some damn help lol.

Herro can’t score against tough defensive matchups and is terrible defensively, was actually a liability whenever the Heat tried to play him.

Heat need to make some serious moves. Butler, Adebayo, and Herro are the core, need better support.

We need a scoring pg next to Jimmy and a center next to Bam so he can play pf. $90 million in Duncan's garbage ass on the bench. Whatever the **** Lowry costs, eating his way to hamstring injuries, Tyler isn't ready for the big stage when defenders key in on him. So we got some problems to handle in order to upgrade.

I'd trade Duncan for Julius. That's the best I've got. Not giving up Herro for him.

the problem is your starter and your 6th man, (actually and literally the 6th man of the year) became unplayable at the playoffs. so for a better chemistry might as well play whoever you gonna play in the playoffs, during the regular season.
