Raptors Land Tyler Herro
Raptors Receive:

  • Tyler Herro

Herro is only 23. That’s part of the calculus for the Raptors here. Between Herro and Anunoby, it’s likely that Herro has more upside. Still, this is largely a matter of fit for Toronto. This team is in desperate need of a player who can generate offense in half-court sets. Herro and Siakam in tandem should open up plenty for this team’s attack. Meanwhile, they can afford to part with Anunoby. The Raptors will still have Siakam and Scottie Barnes to anchor their defense.

Raptors Offseason Moves

  • Draft Brice Sensabaugh (10th)

  • Pick Up Scottie Barnes's Team Option

  • Pick Up Precious Achiuwa's Team Option

  • Pick Up Malachi Flynn's Team Option

  • Re-sign Gary Trent Jr. for 4 years / $84,000,000

  • Re-sign Jakob Poeltl for 3 years / $42,000,000

Toronto Raptors Potential Rotation

PG Tyler Herro

SG Gary Trent Jr.

SF Scottie Barnes

PF Pascal Siakam

C Jakob Poeltl

-

PG Malachi Flynn

SG Brice Sensabaugh

SF Otto Porter Jr.

PF Thaddeus Young

C Christian Koloko

Heat Receive:

  • OG Anunoby

  • Chris Boucher

If the Raptors are open to this deal, it’s a no-brainer for Miami. They’re getting the best player in the deal without compromising their roster construction. That’s not to say that they won’t miss Herro. Miami’s half-court offense would suffer. Still, they could use an upgrade at the 4 spot. Anunoby is big and strong enough to man that position for the Heat.
