Could Miami Heat's Tyler Herro Face The Same Offseason Uncertainty As Dolphins' Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa?

The Miami Dolphins are reportedly considering other options at quarterback than Tua Tagovailoa during the offseason,

Despite a solid third season from Tagovailoa, an ESPN report Friday claimed the Dolphins are looking elsewhere because of health concerns. Tagovailoa dealt with concussion issues last season, missing their playoff game against the Buffalo Bills.

With the Dolphins contemplating moving on from their young star, the Miami Heat may be in a similar position with point guard Tyler Herro this summer. Herro signed a four-year, $130 million contract before the start of the season. after winning the league's Sixth Man of the Year award.

He is arguably in the middle of his best season, averaging 20.3 points, 5.6 rebounds and 4.3 assists. He moved to the starting lineup but has struggled with consistency. He is shooting just 33.3 percent from the field since All-Star break. His decline last postseason also brings concerns.

Herro is trade-eligible at the end of this season, meaning the Heat could dangle him as bait to land a more established player to pair alongside Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo.

With Butler's championship-window closing, the Heat may want to grab a more seasoned All-Star than a developing player like Herro. Last summer Herro was mentioned in trade rumors for Donovan Mitchell and Kevin Durant.

This offseason, we could see more of the same.
