Instead of trading for Herro, who MIA is asking an extreme price and who isn't is good as Dinwiddie at the moment, I think we need to invest time in Cam Thomas.
where has anyone credible reported that miami is asking an extreme price for herro?
also herro is about 6 years younger and a vastly superior shooter to dinwiddie, so while while i dont think it's unreasonable to say they are comparable as players, herro's basketball value is clearly higher (which is why his salary is higher).
if dinwiddie is likely worth 1 protected FRP as an expiring, why isnt 1-2 protect FRPs for a younger player with an extremely bankable skill reasonable?
You've made several points. Let me attempt to address them.
The widespread "sources say" word is that Miami expects a 3rd team to take Herro as part of the Damedeal, and give Portland expirings and 2 future 1sts. That's an extreme price, no one values him that way right now other than Miami. Portland flatly refuses to accept Herro in a Lillard trade, partly because they have too many young guards already, but also partly because Miami assigns extreme value to him.
Tyler is an intriguing young guard. He got a big extension navy's his upside is major. He is probably better than Spencer in 2026. But right now, Dinwiddie is far better on the court. What they're "worth" differs when you speak about them as a player, versus as an asset.
Honestly, if Miami was gauging Herro's value around the league, he'd garner offers similar to Jordan Poole. Another young guard who got PAID off of scintillating performances in a limited role, and who now looks exposed and overpaid. You get Chris Paul for that, an old, injured but effective expiring contract, not an extreme price.
