If the Miami Heat don't love the idea of paying Tyler Herro close to $50 million per season over the next three years, his perfect replacement could be one bold move away. With the rumors surrounding his future, Cam Thomas could emerge as an intriguing potential replacement for Herro on the Heat.
Herro officially becomes extension-eligible on October 1. He's likely to ask for the max extension (three years, $150 million), and it would be shocking if he and the Heat settled at anything less. But there's a problem with that.

If the Heat has any hopes of landing - or even genuinely pursuing - another superstar in the near future, that would be relatively impossible if they were to give Herro this rich extension.
