Tyler Herro's Brother Hints at Bucks Trade in Response to Heat Star's IG Photo Amid Giannis Rumors

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro's brother, Austin, seemingly hinted at a trade to the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday.

After Tyler posted an Instagram photo with two hourglass emojis as the caption, Austin responded with a video of a deer in the comments.

ESPN's Shams Charania reported May 11 that the Heat were among the teams expected to pursue Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo on the trade market.

Charania also reported that Milwaukee seriously considered a Miami offer consisting of Herro and Kel'el Ware to go along with "other players and multiple draft picks and pick swaps" in exchange for Antetokounmpo ahead of the Feb. 4 trade deadline.

Herro currently has one season left on a four-year, $120 million contract that he signed with the Heat in 2022. He'll earn $33 million during his 2026-27 campaign before hitting free agency in 2027, via Spotrac.

While Herro has showcased his offensive talent during his tenure in Miami and earned his first All-Star nod in 2025, he's coming off a 2025-26 campaign in which he was limited to just 33 games due to toe and rib injuries.

Still, he averaged 20.5 points and 4.1 assists per game on 48.0/37.8/91.7 shooting splits when available.

It's also worth noting that Herro is a Milwaukee native.

After Miami's streak of six consecutive playoff appearances was snapped during the 2025-26 season, its front office could be enticed by a potential frontcourt pairing of Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo.

Although Antetokounmpo was similarly hampered by health issues during the regular season, the two-time MVP still recorded 27.6 points, 9.8 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game on 62.4 percent shooting.

A trade could be on the horizon even if Miami isn't involved, as NBA insider Jake Fischer reported that the league as a whole is bracing for an Antetokounmpo swap to occur before the start of the 2026 NBA draft.

The draft begins on June 23.
