Tyler Herro was just traded to the Milwaukee Bucks last month as part of the return for star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo.
However, there’s already speculation about how long Herro’s stint in Milwaukee will last.

Herro was recently named as a likely trade candidate heading into the 2026-27 NBA season by Dan Favale of Bleacher Report, who pointed to Milwaukee’s backcourt depth combined with the fact that Herro will be due for a new contract soon as reasons the Bucks might look to flip the former NBA Sixth Man of the Year.
“Tyler Herro’s Wisconsin homecoming may not last very long. He is entering the final year of his contract, and while the Milwaukee Bucks aren’t incentivized to lose when they don’t control their own first-round pick again until 2031, they do have a boatload of guards who can’t be stretched into undersized wings,” Favale wrote.
“Unless Milwaukee envisions paying big money to Herro and Rollins (2027-28 player option) next summer after already having overpaid GTJ, you can bet your bottom dollar somebody’s getting traded. Our money is on Herro.”
