Tyler Herro: I want to bring a championship to Miami... I need the same influence on this city as Dwyane Wade

.

Tyler Herro: I really do want to bring a championship to Miami. [I want to be an] All-Star [and] win a championship, and I just want to give back to the community… I need the same influence on this city as D-Wade. Obviously, not as much because of how much he’s done, and this is Wade County at the end of the day.

More on this storyline

While these are some of the initial hires for Amazon, it is far from done as it needs to add more game-callers and analysts. The streamer has held talks with Dwyane Wade about a position with studio and/or game duties in play, sources briefed on the discussions said. -via New York Times / January 5, 2025

Brian Windhorst: Riley has long been unafraid to tell his star players no. In 2010, when LeBron James hinted he wanted Riley to replace coach Erik Spoelstra, as told to author Ian Thomsen in the 2018 book "The Soul of Basketball," Riley shut him down in the moment. He let Dwyane Wade walk in a contract dispute. There are many other examples over the decades. This Butler situation is going to be another chapter. "The Heat make mistakes and sometimes have issues with players just like everyone else," the GM said. "But they do not get pushed around." -via ESPN / January 3, 2025

Barry Jackson: Herro, asked if he's surprised by Butler's joy comment: "Not really. We are all trying to find joy at the same time." -via x.com / January 2, 2025

Ira Winderman: Pacers coach Rick Carlisle, pregame, on Tyler Herro, "There's a lot of talk for him for All-Star, and it's all deserved. The things that he's pulled off at the ends of games, consistently over the first two and a half months of the season, have been pretty breathtaking." -via Twitter @IraHeatBeat / January 2, 2025
