The Memphis Grizzlies and veteran guard D’Angelo Russell are expected to work towards parting ways — either via buyout or trade — this offseason, sources tell @YahooSports.
> Yahoo Sports learned that both the Heat and Bucks routinely reside at Resorts World during Summer League, and Adebayo shoved Herro in the face before swinging and striking him in the head.
> (Herro, who owns Team Herro, a 17-and-under AAU team, was scheduled to make an appearance at EYBL for an exhibition matchup with Expressions on Friday afternoon, but he was a no-show.)
> A number of conversations with individuals familiar with the Heat's operations — those who have spent time with the organization and those who have played or coached against Herro — paint a clearer picture of an Adebayo/Herro dynamic that turned frosty rather quickly, as well as the incendiary role the latter played that ultimately led to the reported physical confrontation.
> However, there's a growing belief — at least according to the individuals with close ties to Miami (although not currently with the team) — that a large faction of Herro's gripe is centered around Adebayo's silence during trade negotiations for Antetokounmpo and not stepping in privately or publicly in a way that could have reinforced Herro's importance to the organization. A combination of that along with the on-court difference in perception is potentially what could have led to the bubbling tension.
> According to players and coaches who have competed against the 26-year-old Herro, he's been described as cocky and someone who consistently attempts to rile up opposing players by talking trash and insinuating he'll fight. "Same boring tough-guy s***," said one individual.

Heat forward Keshad Johnson — the reigning Slam Dunk Contest champion — will not receive a qualifying offer from Miami, making him an unrestricted free agent, sources tell @YahooSports.
The Bucks will receive Tyler Herro, Kel’el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kasparas Jakučionis, three first-round picks (No. 13 in 2026, 2031, 2033), a 2030 first-round pick swap and a 2033 second-round pick, while also sending Bobby Portis to Miami. ESPN was first to report the deal, though it remains to be seen if the deal expands in the coming weeks, as it can’t be finalized until July 6 and could evolve. More specifically, league sources say there is a great deal of interest around the league in Herro, and the Bucks will consider the prospect of sending him elsewhere. The Bucks, per a team source, are also considering keeping Herro (he has one season left on his deal at $33 million).
