Tyler Herro will be eligible to sign a three-year extension this October worth up to $149.7 million. Prospective negotiations between the Miami Heat and their All-Star remain a point of contention among fans and armchair GMs. Really, though, the decision has already been made for the Heat.
They need to wait, and revisit Herro’s future and contract situation next summer.
This has little to do with the 25-year-old’s value to the team. He is, until further notice, their offensive engine, not only their best playmaker, but someone whose off-ball acumen can unlock doors for everyone else.
