Tyler Herro’s long-term future with the Miami Heat is very much up in the air. And at this point, you can say the same about his immediate role. Miami’s offseason moves—or lack thereof—suggest he will be tasked with even more playmaking responsibility.
This complication has flown under the radar as people take stock of the Heat’s bigger picture. They clearly have designs on stockpiling assets and financial flexibility, and Herro’s extension eligibility this October flies in the face of that longer view. He could turn into collateral damage of the long game, or become the wrench in their plans.
