Heat didn't trade for Bradley Beal because they didn't consider him a huge upgrade over Tyler Herro
What’s the buzz on Twitter?

A reminder: Jimmy Butler, Caleb Martin, Nikola Jovic, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Josh Richardson, Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro, Kevin Love, Kyle Lowry (and now RJ Hampton) all out tonight for Heat.
That’s about 85% of the payroll. – 6:45 PM

I have watched Bradley Beal toss his beanie to the ground in exasperation after Devin Booker’s crossover and pull-up 3 about 10 times now, and it’s been funny every time. He’s gonna give us some gold reaction shots this year – 2:19 AM

Your reminder that Jordan Goodwin was not a throw-in for the Beal trade and he could wind up being an important piece on this team. – 11:59 PM

Goodwin running point allows Booker to play off ball.
1st preseason game for Goodwin. If Goodwin gets minutes, who sits in rotation at guard position?
Gordon? Can’t see that happening.
Allen? Has looked good early.
You’d want Goodwin and Booker/Beal out there together? #Suns – 10:43 PM

I expect a lot of this from Bam Adebayo this season
Play-making hub at elbow for Lowry-Herro screening action
But look at the separation he creates off that stutter/jab
That’s huge pic.twitter.com/Fqcl4ebPdR – 10:43 AM

More on this storyline
Chris Haynes: “They are they’re trying to rotate the point guard assignments between Bradley Beal and Devin Booker. And that is the plan right now going into the season that those two are going to share those roles.” (…) “I’m gonna go as far as I think they need to point guard desperately.” Marc Stein: “Do they know it? Would they admit it to the side if you ask them?” Chris Haynes: “I think some would say yes, others wouldn’t. So, you know, take that as you as you will. But I think they’re going to need a point guard.” -via Apple Podcasts / October 13, 2023
Sean Highkin: Frank Vogel says Bradley Beal is out with lower back tightness but Kevin Durant and Devin Booker will both play. -via Twitter @highkin / October 12, 2023
Kellan Olson: Bradley Beal, Devin Booker and Kevin Durant are all set to play tomorrow after sitting out yesterday’s preseason game, per Frank Vogel -via Twitter @KellanOlson / October 11, 2023
Tim Reynolds: Jimmy Butler (dental), Caleb Martin (left knee), Nikola Jovic (right knee), Jaime Jaquez (left groin) and Josh Richardson (left foot) all out for Heat-Spurs tomorrow, as are Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro, Kevin Love and Kyle Lowry (all to let others play). -via Twitter @ByTimReynolds / October 12, 2023
So if Portland Trail Blazers General Manager Joe Cronin had no use for Herro in a trade for since-dealt All-Star point guard Damian Lillard, so be it, Herro said. “I didn’t want to go to Portland, so I’m glad Portland didn’t want me,” he said in a tone more of resignation to an offseason of doubt than of particular vitriol toward Cronin. “I just don’t want to be in Portland. So it’s not personal with Portland, at all. -via South Florida Sun-Sentinel / October 9, 2023
Not activated from his broken hand until the Heat’s final game of the NBA Finals, Herro, 23, never got into that loss to the Denver Nuggets, then, as now, convinced he could have made a difference. And then another summer seemingly of being cast as chum, previously for Kevin Durant, this time for Lillard, who eventually was dealt to the Milwaukee Bucks. “My value maybe has decreased in people’s eyes,” he said, “but I’m a better player than I was last year, so there’s no way my value has decreased.” -via South Florida Sun-Sentinel / October 9, 2023
