The NBA offseason is coming to an end, which means that teams only have a limited amount of time to produce big trades.

So far, the Detroit Pistons and Miami Heat haven’t hashed out any deal, but they could before 2025-26 begins next month.

Writing for Bleacher Report, Zach Buckley listed a potential trade that could work well for both the Pistons and Heat.

In this hypothetical trade, the Pistons would get Tyler Herro and Nikola Jovic, while the Miami Heat would receive Tobias Harris, Ron Holland II, a 2026 first-round pick (lottery-protected), a 2030 first-round pick, and a 2031 first-round pick swap (top-three protected).

“Coach J.B. Bickerstaff helped mold the Pistons into a pesky playoff opponent built around toughness, tenacity, defensive disruption and all things Cade Cunningham on offense. That will be the same approach opponents take until the Pistons find a viable threat to slot alongside Cunningham. They also can’t rely solely on Jaden Ivey or other young players to develop into a star right now—not when the Eastern Conference appears so open for competition. With this deal, they wouldn’t have to hope for internal elevation to fill that void. Herro is already a proven offensive threat. Maybe Miami doesn’t think Herro has that level in him, either. Or Jović, for that matter. The wise move, then, would be to cash in the trade chips now in hopes of hitting it big later,” Buckley wrote.

This could be a massive swing, especially for the Heat.

Although Herro has been a rumored trade asset for years, the team has always held tight to him.

They have also viewed Nikola Jovic as a young up-and-comer who could serve the team well for years to come.

The Pistons would probably be more willing to agree to the terms, but they might want to wait a while before they attempt anything like this.

They know they have a young and promising core, and they may wish to compete for a few months.

This deal would be a big one, but it might not happen.

Or, if it does, it might not become a reality until right before the February trade deadline.

This could transform both teams and help their chances, but it may remain theoretical for a while.
