Haslem said that Tyler must remember the time he spent with the Heat and the accomplishments he achieved during his tenure. As a mentor to Herro, Haslem has witnessed the young player’s growth and development firsthand.

Haslem acknowledged Herro’s contributions to the team, highlighting his impressive achievements, including being named the NBA’s Sixth Man of the Year and reaching the NBA Finals twice. “So whatever happens, he can walk away with his head up, you know, two NBA Finals, 3 Eastern Conference Finals.
