The Miami Heat and Tyler Herro can officially negotiate a new contract, as their 20-day window has officially opened. And if one prediction proves right, the Heat could be making a $40 million per year mistake.
A prediction from Bleacher Report has the Heat gifting Herro a three-year, $130 million contract extension. That would balance out to paying the All-Star shooting guard roughly $40 million per season. If that were to happen, the Heat would essentially be kissing their chances to emerge as a serious contender in the Eastern Conference goodbye.
It's going to be increasingly impossible for the Heat to build out a contender with two max-level players already on the roster.
