The Miami Heat are set to embark on the 2025-26 campaign in a bit of a gap year. This isn't the worst thing in the world if the group can continue to develop, but it also means that many of the Heat subplots in the coming year are going to center around what those building block pieces should look like.
At the center of the debate is going to be Tyler Herro, who is still under contract for two more seasons with the Heat. But those that don't learn from the past are doomed to repeat it, and after the drama that surrounded the departure of Jimmy Butler, the Heat don't need a repeat of that with Herro.
