It's never happened. Herro would be the first.
Herro can absolutely help a team win the chip, he just can't do it as a 35min starter and a max contract player. He's a 6th man on a winner and a starter on a treadmill team.
His other path is to become more than just a scorer. That's his evolution. He needs to be the offensive engine and run the offense. 1 way scorers get paid, but always flounder in the playoffs. Always.
That said, Id still pay him. But pay him to flip him. You need that max contract slot to go big game hunting. And I'm absolutely not trading bam.
I believe we were at our best when he was coming off the bench; 93-49, & he's won 6moty too. As a starter we're 110-107.
I see no difference between this and Wade couldn't get out the first round without Lebron or Shaq narrative. A little context of the teammates matter. And no I'm not comparing them as players.
