I think the name that would fill a need and excite these boards is PJ Washington.
A Washington and Rozier package for Herro and filler is considerable.
I like Indiana as suitor if Mia is committed to going all in this upcoming season.
The Turner/Hield/McConnell package for Herro, whichever between Dipo/Duncan that’s not traded for Beal, and filler would check the size, rim protection, elite shooting, and competent ball handling boxes in one swoop.
Sounds great for Miami but why would Indy do anything like this? There already have a guard they like to develop at sg.
They might have zero interest in Herro for all I know.
Conversely they might like him a lot.
What seems legit is that they are willing to move both Turner and Hield for the right price and are rumored to be coveting wing players.
BIG wing players. Indy has interest in BIG wing players. Guys that can defend the 3/4. They’re not interested in bad long term contracts or guys that are injured and out for another season (and that have already asked to leave Indy before).
But that doesn’t help that Indy has one playable big man at the 4/5, and would be dealing him for another SG. I guess Indy would play Herro at the 4 after this? Nesmith at the 5?

But also, Myles should have more value than Herro. At least, to Indy, he does.
To be fair, that offer you suggested is amazing for Miami. It solves a ton of their problems, and at great value. It makes less than no sense for Indy. It opens up problems. It doesn’t solve any. And they pay extra value to do so.
IF Indy sees Mathurin as a 3, and IF Indy has interest in Herro, I could see an offer centered around Buddy/26/29 for Herro, more likely as part of a 3 team deal where the other team wants an expiring instead of Herro’s long term deal. I can’t see Indy offering up too much more. Not with Haliburton, Nembhard, Buddy, Mathurin, McConnell, Nesmith, and Duarte at the positions that Herro would play.
