"Tyler Herro may have made a big mistake by not meeting in the middle with the Miami Heat on a contract extension (that would've made sense for both sides) as his nightmarish season continues. Herro made a decision to bet on himself this season in hopes that he would earn his way toward an extension with the Heat that was closer to the $50 million per year number that he was eligible to sign this offseason."
"Unfortunately, after Herro has only played in six of 34 eligible regular-season games so far this year, he's made his future that much more complicated for the Heat to figure out. The emergence of Norman Powell in the Herro role so far this season hasn't helped his case much either. It's gotten to the point that you can't help but wonder if Herro is slowly becoming much more expendable for the Heat heading into the future."
"And if that is indeed the case, Herro could all but forget about the near $50 million per year contract that he may have been angling for before the start of the season. In October, Herro was eligible to sign a three-year, $150 million extension with the Heat. However, both sides decided to table those contract talks after not getting close to a deal."
Tyler Herro bet on himself this season seeking a near $50 million-per-year extension but the Heat refused to meet that number and paused talks. Herro has played only six of 34 regular-season games, creating uncertainty about his role and contract value. Norman Powell's emergence in Herro's role has reduced Herro's leverage. Durability concerns persist because of repeated injuries, and defensive shortcomings remain a liability. The Heat previously could have offered a three-year, $150 million extension, but negotiations stalled. Continued missed time has left Herro farther from answering the franchise's long-term concerns.
