Heat likely to trade Tyler Herro this offseason?

At one point, the Miami Heat deemed Tyler Herro untouchable in trade negotiations. That doesn't appear to be the case anymore. 

After a sophomore slump that included concerns about his personal life, there's a 75% chance Herro will be traded this offseason, according to Ethan Skolnick of Five Reasons Sports Network:

Skolnick recently revealed during a recent episode of the "Inside the Paint" podcast that the Heat have been concerned about Herro's growing celebrity status and his personal life as of late.

Herro was outstanding during his rookie campaign, emerging as a deadly three-point shooter. However, his sophomore campaign was disappointing as the Heat were swept out of the playoffs by the Milwaukee Bucks. 

The 21-year-old averaged 15.1 points, five rebounds and 3.4 assists per game this season while shooting 43.9% from the field and 36% from deep.

Even if Miami does trade him, it could have some reservations in doing so. Heat president Pat Riley recently said Herro is a "core player" for this team, which indicates he won't be moved for a bargain. 

The Heat also have decisions to make on several other players, including Kendrick Nunn, Duncan Robinson and Victor Oladipo, who are looking to get paid this summer.
