Milwaukee, WI — Newly acquired guard Tyler Herro says joining the Bucks feels like the ideal reset after the deal that sent Giannis Antetokounmpo to Miami. In a conversation with The Athletic, the Milwaukee native called the move “a fresh start for everyone.”
The 26-year-old, traded from the Heat and entering the final season of a $33 million contract, acknowledged that other clubs — including Detroit — had shown interest before the blockbuster trade. “I’m hoping I’m staying here,” he said, adding that he is prepared for any timeline, whether “two months, two years, whatever it is.” Herro believes the roster’s veteran leadership and motivated younger core will outperform expectations.
