Beginning on October 1, Tyler Herro will be eligible to sign a three-year extension with the Miami Heat worth up to $149.7 million. And if the organization wants to keep the good offseason vibes going, it should steer clear of offering him a deal inside that ballpark.
This has little to do with Herro’s contributions or his importance to the team overall. There is no arguing his in-house value anymore.
Bam Adebayo is the only player who usurps him in the franchise’s pecking order. Miami has also doubled-down on its faith in Herro by not adding a conventional floor general this summer, or another on-ball scorer like Jonathan Kuminga.
