The tutelage of a four-time All-Star did wonders for Herro. He averaged a team-high 14.2 points on 46 percent shooting and was easily the team’s biggest talking point during the preseason. “He don’t give a damn about what I think (of him),” Butler said recently. “I have that quality, too. A lot of people don’t, but he has it. He’s comfortable in his own skin. He’s not worried about what anybody says. He’s confident because he works on his game. He listens. He asks all the right questions. At 19, (if) you’ve already got that mindset, you can only get better, especially in this organization. He’s going to be special for a very long time.”
Miami Heat guard Dion Waiters was visibly upset after Friday’s preseason finale against the Houston Rockets. It had almost nothing to do with the Heat’s 144-133 loss at home. Nor was Waiters miffed about only getting four shot attempts. The frustration was solely a matter of playing time. After the game, he was among the first dressed in the locker room. With his head down and a stern facial expression, he made his way out the side door and did not say a word to anyone.
Sam Amick: Sources, at @TheAthletic: One of the NBA’s best young big men might be on the move. Darren Wolfson: Told #Twolves talked to Indiana about him in June. There’s no sense that any recent talks have happened though. But it remains fascinating to track this front office’s aggressiveness. It’s a matter of when, not if, they execute more trades.
