This is what Riley does. He has very few sacred cows when he goes chasing after his whales.

It definitely hurts to see a player we drafted leave, but if anything it highlights how good our coaching and development is that we turned a #13 pick into a future (at this rate) all-star. Hope he gets sent to a good destination and not Portland lol
I hope he ends up in San Antonio or Brooklyn. He's going to be great.
Ssd situation. Felt like he's always been under appreciated, and then the injury happened. People even went as far as to say Heat were better without him, but then during the finals showed how much the Heat really needed another offensive spark.
Maybe just because I became a big fan during the bubble, but really do think the finals this year would've been different if he had been 100%.
We really missed him after Jimmy got hurt during the Knicks series, and didn't go crazy like he did versus the Bucks. Once the three barrage that had helped overcome Jimmy's fall in productivity got a little cold it led to the Boston series going to 7 really exposing the need for Herro back. And could have really used that extra week to rest Jimmy's ankle.
Was not cool seeing people setup Herro absence as being a positive, and then continuing to do that during the 4 game skid after being up 3-0 and continuing into the NBA finals. Herro took too much crap.
