"The Miami Heat and Tyler Herro can officially negotiate a new contract, as their 20-day window has officially opened. And if one prediction proves right, the Heat could be making a $40 million per year mistake. A prediction from Bleacher Report has the Heat gifting Herro a three-year, $130 million contract extension. That would balance out to paying the All-Star shooting guard roughly $40 million per season."
"The biggest problem with a huge extension for Herro is that the Heat would be on the hook for roughly $90 million per year for two players who aren't true alphas in the NBA. That's not great, nor is it a proper formula for building a championship contender. As good as Herro and Bam may be, they're not elite superstars, and aren't a duo that is going to lead a team toward a championship."
The Miami Heat and Tyler Herro can now negotiate a new contract after the 20-day window opened. Bleacher Report projects a three-year, $130 million extension for Herro, roughly $40 million per season. Combined with Bam Adebayo's expected $50-plus million over three years, Miami would be committing about $90 million annually to two players who are not established elite superstars. That payroll structure would limit flexibility to add a true No.1 option and reduce the team's ability to build a genuine championship contender. The current roster construction has already suggested a capped ceiling in recent play.
