After Butler was traded to the Warriors last season, Herro became the new leader of the Heat, starting all 77 regular season games, averaging 35.4 minutes, 23.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 5.5 assists per game, with shooting percentages of 47.2%, 37.5%, and 87.8%.

This October, Herro will be eligible to sign a three-year, $150 million early extension with the Heatfollowing the previous four-year, $120 million contract agreed upon in 2022.

If the Heat have no plans to tank, there is no doubt they will show their utmost sincerity to secure Herro long-term and continue to establish him as the team’s core player!
