Miami Heat’s First-Time All-Star Projected to Net Major Contract Extension

Hậu vệ Tyler Herro của Miami Heat phản ứng sau khi ghi bàn vào lưới Philadelphia 76ers tại Trung tâm Wells Fargo.

Tyler Herro officially broke out as a sensational on-ball scoring and play-making force for the Miami Heat in 2024-25.

In 77 regular-season appearances with the team, the 6-foot-5 shooting guard contributed 23.9 points, 5.5 assists, and 5.2 rebounds while sporting a 60.5% true shooting percentage, earning his first trip to the All-Star Game in the process.

The 2020 All-Rookie Second Team selection and 2022 Sixth Man of the Year has shown steady improvement throughout his 6-year tenure with Miami.

As a result of his excellent growth as an all-around offensive threat, Bleacher Report’s Eric Pincus recently suggested that the 25-year-old could be due for a massive pay day in the very near future.

“The (Jimmy) Butler trade drama tanked much of the season, and Miami lost the magic that led to surprisingly long postseason runs with him in the fold,” Pincus wrote Tuesday.

“Still, Tyler Herro earned his first All-Star nod and is probably part of the solution.”

“If so, the Heat can and should sign him to a three-year extension that runs through the 2029-30 season. If he continues to play at a high level, they can build around him and Bam Adebayo, or his contract can be a trade asset.”

“Projection: Herro signs an extension that can start as high as $46.2 million in the first year.”

Miami and team president Pat Riley will be looking to remain aggressive with regard to pursuing superstar talent in the coming months.

If Miami were to add another star in conjunction with Herro’s potential extension, just a few key decisions could serve as the foundation for a truly competitive team in the Eastern Conference next season.

In the aftermath of Boston Celtics superstar Jayson Tatum‘s brutal ruptured Achilles suffered against the New York Knicks on May 12, a wide-open conference in 2025-26 could see Herro and Miami make a swift return to the top of the East.
