Tyler Herro’s social media activity has added more fuel to the belief that Giannis Antetokounmpo could be on his way to Miami.
The Heat have long been seen as one of the top destinations if the Bucks decide to part ways with their franchise star.
That has made every Herro post feel like a potential clue, especially when Milwaukee starts popping up in the comments.
Tyler Herro’s Instagram like sparks Bucks talk
On a recent Instagram post, a fan reportedly commented, “Bucks tomorrow,” and Herro appeared to like the comment before it disappeared later on.
Herro’s brother also indicated the same with a comment of Buck antlers under the post, another comment that’s now gone.
That is notable because Herro has been the most obvious name linked to any potential Miami package for Antetokounmpo. A deleted comment does not confirm anything, but it adds another layer to a rumor that has already taken over Heat social media.
For fans, the logic is simple. If Giannis is coming to Miami, Herro is probably heading home to Wisconsin.
Tyler Herro’s inclusion is inevitable in a Giannis Antetokounmpo trade
Herro grew up in the Milwaukee area and played his high school basketball at Whitnall in Greenfield, so a move to the Bucks would be more than just a salary fit.
He averaged 20.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 4.1 assists last season, and his four-year, $120 million contract gives Miami the financial building block needed for a legitimate offer.
A potential Heat package could include Herro, Kel’el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Nikola Jovic, the No. 13 pick, and future first-rounders. Milwaukee would likely push for as much young talent and draft capital as possible in return for a two-time MVP.
While the Heat are seen as frontrunners, they are not alone in the race. Portland has been mentioned as a risk-taking bidder, while Boston, Orlando, and New York are all teams that could try to hijack Miami’s path.
There is also a sense of urgency. Bucks co-owner Jimmy Haslam reportedly wants Antetokounmpo’s future settled before the NBA Draft on June 23, giving teams less than two weeks to get a deal done.
Antetokounmpo has not publicly chosen Miami, and nothing is official yet. But Herro liking a “Bucks tomorrow” comment, then that comment disappearing, is exactly the kind of thing that gets Heat fans believing a deal is close.
