Heat have crystal clear choice in Nikola Jovic extension talks
"For the Miami Heat, there's one contract extension decision that should be a no-brainer. Before the October 20 deadline, the Heat needs to do what it can to lock up Nikola Jovic to a contract extension.

Assuming that to be the case, not giving him a contract extension now could prove to be very costly for the team in the long run. If the vibes surrounding Jovic at media day were any indication, it's clear that not only is Jovic expecting a"
"bigger role with the team this season, but also that the team is expecting much from him, too. Perhaps the biggest sign of good news for the Heat was that Jovic stated that he'd welcome an extension before the season.

The organization has protected Jovic from trade talks and appears to view him as a key part of the future. Jovic signaled openness to an extension and expects a larger role this season. If he takes a developmental leap, a pre-season contract could be a team bargain. The Herro situation and his injury may affect timing and priorities, but delaying an extension risks paying a higher price if Jovic's value rises during the season.
