The Miami Heat could prove how much Bam Adebayo means to them with one simple move. It would be a bold decision that revolves around going all-in on Trae Young or Ja Morant over the course of the next 12 months. In many ways, it would be a huge answer to what Bam has long awaited throughout his young career.

Extending Herro on any type of deal runs in stark contrast to this approach. He is already on the books for 2026-27, but he's scheduled to come off the ledger during 2027 free agency. Bam Adebayo is the only Miami player owed guaranteed money that summer. The Heat, in theory, could have over $90 million in spending power. Putting Herro on the docket at any type of price-a max extension would pay him $46.2 million that year-substantially knives into that space.

The Red Sox are unlikely to move Jarren Duran despite considerable interest from the Padres, as they may hold off on any deal until the offseason.

The Toronto Blue Jays have had talented players, but fewer were drafted by the team, with even less being first-round picks.
