The Milwaukee Bucks made a doozy of a trade with the Miami Heat on Monday. In a major shakeup, the Bucks sent Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis to Miami in exchange for Tyler Herro, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kel’el Ware, Kasparas Jakucionis, and three first-round picks.
The move made a ton of sense for the Bucks, who got prime assets for a rebuild and completely replenished their draft cupboard. But with Milwaukee’s new guard rotation looking a little crowded, many wonder if Herro will actually still be a Milwaukee Buck by the end of the month.
According to a report from Sam Amick and Eric Nehm of The Athletic, the Bucks appear to be wide open for business.
“The Bucks still have work to do, as league sources say it remains unclear if Tyler Herro will remain with the team. While there is interest in making the Milwaukee native part of his hometown program, sources say the Bucks will also listen to offers for the 26-year-old All-Star,” the report stated.
There had always been noise about Herro wanting to commit to his hometown, but that doesn’t look to be the case as of now. The team is weighing all options, including flipping Herro for additional picks or moving him to a third team to bring some solid players. For now, nothing is off the table as Milwaukee reshapes its roster.
The 26-year-old guard is entering the final year of his contract for the 2026-27 season and carries an average annual value of $30 million.
Why The Detroit Pistons Would Be A Perfect Fit for Tyler Herro If The Bucks Flip Him
Multiple teams are reportedly keeping Tyler Herro on their radar, including the Detroit Pistons. The Pistons are already in desperate need of another reliable shooting guard to support Cade Cunningham. Now, they should be looking to add at least two perimeter threats this off-season.
Because of this, it would not be surprising if the Pistons targeted Herro this summer. Detroit simply needs more offensive firepower, and bringing in a proven scorer like Herro would provide them with exactly that.
Herro can stretch the floor as a major three-point shooting threat and serve as a reliable secondary scorer. He played some of the best basketball of his career with the Miami Heat, even if his style wasn’t always the prettiest. During the 2025-26 NBA season, despite being limited to 33 games, Herro averaged 20.5 points while shooting a sharp 37.8% from beyond the arc.
Of course, the Pistons would need to part with quite a few assets to make a deal happen, which fits perfectly with what the rebuilding Bucks are looking to gain as they accumulate pieces for their future.
