"Miami needs to decide what the plan moving forward is going to be for Andrew Wiggins and Norman Powell, who will both have the ability to test unrestricted free agency after this season. Losing Wiggins and Powell for nothing next summer would be catastrophic for this Heat team. That's why making a decision on their futures by the deadline could be vital."
"Additionally, the Heat also has to figure out what the plan is going to be for Tyler Herro moving forward. Herro still has another full year on his roster after this season, but he's going to be looking for a contract extension this summer, and I'm not sure Miami will want to carry him as an expiring contract next season."
"By the end of January, the Miami Heat needs to have a good idea of what the future holds for the franchise. That's because they have a few big long-term decisions to make ahead of the NBA Trade Deadline. The first 21 games of the season feel like years ago for the Heat, when they were 14-7 and had the look of a team that could make some noise in the Eastern Conference. However, since then, the entire season has been a disaster."
By the end of January the Miami Heat must clarify its long-term direction because several major decisions loom before the NBA Trade Deadline. The team started 14-7 but has fallen into a prolonged downturn amid injuries and inconsistency. Tyler Herro has appeared in only six games and Bam Adebayo has missed time, leaving uncertainty about roster value compared with last season. Andrew Wiggins and Norman Powell can enter unrestricted free agency after this season, making their trade-or-keep statuses urgent to avoid losing them for nothing. Miami also must decide whether to extend, trade, or carry Tyler Herro as an expiring contract.
