Miami must decide whether to extend Tyler Herro and should require any extension to be easily tradable to preserve roster flexibility. A near-max deal would likely become one of the most untradable contracts in the league and constrain future moves. Herro's optimal role is as a third or fourth offensive option, but Miami has often placed him in a lead role that reduces his effectiveness and fuels perceptions of overvaluation. That expanded role has increased his leverage in negotiations and could force the Heat into overpaying. Prioritizing tradability and long-term flexibility offers safer team strategy.

Herro playing out of role in Miami has forced him into this narrative that he's overvalued by the Heat.
