If there was any chance that the Miami Heat were going to be able to get Tyler Herro at a discount, that possibility is probably zero now. Thanks to the New York Knicks, the Heat are now staring down the nightmarish scenario of needing to decide between paying Herro near-max money or moving on from him.
After the Knicks gifted Mikal Bridges a four-year, $150 million contract extension, the Heat doesn't have much wiggle room in negotiating with Herro next. That extension for Bridges averages out to roughly $38 million per year. And, mind you, this was Bridges taking a bit of a discount as a favor to the Knicks.
