"Especially with how he's "struggled" to fit into the Heat's new offense, the questions about a potential extension are only going to get louder. There's an argument to be made that Herro's struggles to look comfortable within the Heat's new offensive system could slowly be changing the way the front office views him. And if something on the court doesn't change quickly with Herro, it's going to be incredibly difficult to justify the type of extension that Herro will be seeking."
"During the offseason, there was an expectation that Herro was asking for a contract extension worth upwards of $40-plus million per year. And after making his first All-Star team last season, it'd be difficult to blame Herro if those demands were accurate. In the end, though, the Heat and Herro never saw eye to eye and elected to wait on an extension."
Tyler Herro's potential contract extension faces increased uncertainty because he has struggled to fit into Miami's new offense, raising front office concerns. Herro's on-court performance remains strong statistically, averaging 23 points and five rebounds per game on 50/40/90 shooting, but playmaking and intangible effects on teammates are lacking. Offseason reports indicated Herro sought a $40-plus million per year extension after making his first All-Star team. The Heat and Herro postponed extension talks, and continued struggles in team fit would make a sizable extension difficult to justify.
