"A Tyler Herro nightmare scenario, similar to what transpired between the team and Jimmy Butler last year, could be playing out right before the Miami Heat's eyes. In many ways, what happened with Jimmy could be exactly what's happening with Herro. The hope is that the end result isn't the same, but the Heat are doing themselves no problems in avoiding another potential disaster with one of their most important players."
"Herro can sign up to a three-year, $150 million max extension with the team. You'd imagine that the Heat will approach Herro with a team-friendly extension, and if he were to decline it (which everyone seems to expect at this point), then that's when the ball falls in the Heat's court. At that point, they'd have to decide whether they should meet Herro and his expectations for a new contract,"
The Heat are expected to wait until next summer to decide Tyler Herro's future, creating a risk similar to the Jimmy Butler situation. Herro becomes extension-eligible on October 1 and can sign a three-year, $150 million max extension; his early extension window closes at the end of October. The team will likely offer a team-friendly deal that he may decline, leaving the Heat to either meet his demands, let him test free agency next summer, or trade him before the 2026 deadline. Each option carries roster, cap, and competitive risks for Miami.
