The Sacramento Kings might have finished their 2025-26 campaign in last place in the Western Conference with 60 losses, but as the NBA playoffs tip off on Saturday, they are in the exact same position as 13 other teams in the league: sitting at home on their couch. One of those teams is the Miami Heat, who were eliminated in the Eastern Conference play-in tournament.
The Kings and Heat are two teams that are expected to make some moves this offseason after disappointing seasons, and there is a chance they could help each other. NBA insider Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints reported that the Heat and Kings had discussions for a trade centered around Tyler Herro before February’s deadline.
“Two teams did reach out to the Miami Heat at the trade deadline,” Siegel said about Herro discussions. “… The team in the West that I thought was a really interesting one: the Sacramento Kings. A team that is very much at the bottom of the standings, they have a long road ahead of them, and they are a team that has trouble luring stars in free agency. Their only way to really do so is either through the draft or through trades.”
Could the Kings still make a move for Herro?
