Reportedly, Herro has been online talking about Adebayo, indicating he is one of the worst shooters in the NBA and overpaid. All of the talks online came after the Heat traded for Giannis Antetokounmpo, so Herro sounds annoyed with his current situation and involvement in the trade. Within the online talks, Antetokounmpo also received criticism for his shooting ability, further adding to Herro’s displeasure with the trade.
The relationship between Herro and Adebayo has apparently gone sour, as their “discussion” in Las Vegas led to Adebayo throwing a strike. The rest of the details regarding the altercation have not been revealed, and the Miami Heat’s front office has declined to comment.
