For the Miami Heat, there's one contract extension decision that should be a no-brainer. Before the October 20 deadline, the Heat needs to do what it can to lock up Nikola Jovic to a contract extension.
If the Heat believes Jovic is ready to take the next leap in his development, it's time to prove that with their checkbook. Considering the Heat has decided to hold him out of multiple trade talks in the past, it's pretty clear the team believes he's a key part of the future.
Assuming that to be the case, not giving him a contract extension now could prove to be very costly for the team in the long run.
