ESPN's Brian Windhorst shared a nugget that he envisions it is "doubtful" that the Miami Heat will have a deal in place to extend Tyler Herro before Monday's deadline. Herro is under contract for this season and next, but signing an extension now could have guaranteed a three-year, $149.7 million contract, versus waiting and having the price tag go up to four years and $206.9 million.
Given the state of Miami's roster, ignoring Herro's offseason foot injury, it feels like a risky gambit to not extend the one All-Star the team had last season.
But in truth, opting to kick the can down the road makes perfect sense for the Heat.
