The market might have been set on Tyler Herro’s extension. Plus, we have an update on what stars might be available for the Heat next summer. But first, uh, let’s start with the news around De’aran Fox. Fox has signed a 4-year, $229 million max extension with the Spurs to keep him under contract through the 2029 2030 season. And there’s a bunch of interesting stuff that we can get into with this, but uh I want to start with kind of what we were talking about earlier this week when it came to Luca Donuch. The Spurs are not the Lakers, but I’m also not surprised that the Spurs resigned De’arren Fox. We talked about Luca ressigning with the Lakers, taking him off the market in 2026. Fox resigns with San Antonio. Again, not much of a surprise there. It takes him off the market in 2026. Are you surprised by the extension? That’s surprised that the extension was given. Uh more surprised at the amount rather than anything else. Yep. That’s it. I mean, no, I I I uh I think it’s a ridiculous amount for Dearron Fox. Like, I I I really do. 55 million a year for the continued extension there. like I I don’t maybe I I’ve lost sight of some of the contract sizes around the league and and what a player is worth it, but I don’t I don’t see him as that kind of player, especially when you’ve already got Victor Webbyama there. You’ve got some young players you just drafted, etc. You’ve got a future there. I I don’t know why you’d commit that kind of money to a player like Fox. As as good as he is, and I I really do like Fox. I think he’s a a fine player. I just I just can’t wrap my mind around that. in terms of what we’re looking at around the league and and how some contracts are staggered and and the price tag on some of these players. Uh I don’t know. It just feels like a player like Fox getting paid that much money just doesn’t make a whole hell of a lot of sense to me. It’s a big There’s a sticker shock associated with $55 million, right? But I think it’s important to put it into context of what it is in terms of the percentage of the cap because these cap numbers are going up and all these max extensions are projected and it was a max extension, right? But it’s going to be around 55, 57, whatever it is, whatever the salary cap ultimately ends up being. But these max numbers are based on a percentage of the cap and for Fox it’s 30%. It’s 30% of the cap and for a guy like Darren Fox, look, I agree it feels like an overpay. I think it probably is an overpay. I tweeted kind of joke half jokingly like that’s a lot of money for a one-time all-star knowing how Heat fans are going to take that, but it is still a lot of money. And I understand Darren Fox is playing in the Western Conference and it’s harder to make all-star games in the Western Conference. Darren Fox is a very good player. He feels like a player who should have been an all-star more than once. You know what I mean? Like that’s the kind of player that he is. Sure. I would say to your point about well they have Victor Webbinyama, they just drafted Dylan Harper, they have Stefon Castle, the reigning defensive player of the year. Those guys are cheap right now because they’re on rookie contracts. So if you’re going to overpay for somebody, now’s the time to do it, right? Not all overpays are created equal. And for San Antonio, they’re in such a great cap space right now because all of their best players are still so cheap, except for Dear Fox, obviously that you can like, okay, well, we’re getting Victor Webny at like 123 million a year. That’s like one of the best contracts in the NBA considering he’s a top 15 player already at at the very least. Uh we can afford to overpay Darren Fox by even $10 million a year, which kind of feels like that might be where it is. Yeah, I I understand that idea. Um, but the extension doesn’t kick in immediately though either. So, we’re talking about having to kick that can down the road a little bit and at that point in time maybe other players comes in. Either way, some players will be due for their own respective extensions during the terms of of contract. There will definitely be a point where the the the Spurs get expensive. Listen, I’m not here to argue whether or not the the Spurs have made a good choice or not. I’m just saying in terms of and I feel I don’t know why I’m I’m making this point to be honest with you because I just typically I have been historically I should say a pro player and the idea of get your money I I’m all for it. I’m just it just doesn’t feel like uh the kind of value for a player like Fox and and I don’t even care about the all-star nods or not. I’m just We’ve debated that before when we were looking at Fox before he was traded out of Sacramento whether or not he was the star player. Um he’s definitely not a superstar. I don’t think he ever will be or I think he would have been at by this point of his career. I don’t think he’s going to be in San Antonio either. This kind of feels like superstar money to me. And that being the case, I just it feels like an overpay. And you know, again, this is San Antonio’s problem and San Antonio Spurs fans problem. So, it’s not exactly a a concern for me. It just feels like if you’re going to start looking at this as the baseline for other players across other markets, it’s kind of a dangerous place to be in. Well, in terms of where the Heat stand now, I mean, this is a guy that you you already talked about it, but like we we’ve talked about Darren Fox as a trade deadline guy. remember talking before uh in the fe before the February trade deadline, could Miami somehow trade Jimmy Butler in a deal that lands them dear and Fox, right? We were having those kinds of conversations here. And you’re right, like he’s a shaky shooter from the perimeter. He’s only had one good season uh from shooting from the outside over his career. There are injury concerns. Defense is pretty shaky. Um you know, I he’s he’s an okay passer playmaker, not an elite one. He’s a very good scorer. Uh but I I even by the time he left Sacramento, the Kings were kind of sick of him. Yeah. So there were def there’s definitely some warts there to his game. So I agree with you that he’s probably this is an overpay. This is an overpay for Jiren Fox, but I also understand the context in which San Antonio is probably agreeing to overpay him. They’re probably in that front office being like, “Yeah, this is probably an overpay, but we’re okay with it.” That said, going back to the trying to tie the Luca conversation into this conversation, the thing we talked about Luca was that was always a pipe dream. I think the Dear Fox thing, whether you wanted him or not, as a Heat fan, was always going to be a pipe dream because as soon as he got traded to San Antonio, he was resigning there. They traded him, they traded for him with the understanding that they were going to resign him to an extension. And that was going to be the case even after they want they they moved up in the lottery and got Dylan Harper. They weren’t going to just say, you know what, we have a rookie now. we’re going to just punt on deer and Fox. They weren’t going to do that and not after they gave up assets for for Fox. So, I guess for the Heat’s purposes, in case anybody needed more reminding, the Luca extension and the Dear and Fox extension now taking two of the top free agents off the 2026 market proves that the Heat will not be able to sign their next star player in free agency. More likely than not, they’re going to need to trade for them. That’s how you get these players. That’s how the Lakers got their star. That’s how the Spurs got their dear and Fox. Um, you have to trade for these players that you want and and this is why it’s called around the league pre- agency because when these extensions start coming and these other front officers around the league say start questioning, do we want to pay this guy or not? That’s when those guys become available and Miami is going to have to pounce on that guy if they want to get that guy because they can’t rely on free agency. It’s the new norm now, right? I I can’t recall the last time a player has signed a major free agent deal. I’m sure I’m forgetting something, but it happens less and less frequently. It seems like free agency is mostly now for the mid-tier or lower players like those guys to kind of, you know, filling out the maybe the third or fourth options on teams all the way down the road. And that’s kind of for fill for filling holes on a roster, right? Like I’m trying to think it’s a great point like Paul George last year technically even though it didn’t work out but that’s I mean he signed a big deal and like Durant going to Brooklyn in 2019 is that kind of it Kyrie Kyrie at that point too as a free agent like the same summer 2019 was a big summer but it’s it’s yeah but it’s it’s kind of winnowing out. I mean we’re talking 2019 five six years ago now. So uh so I mean already we’re starting to move on from that. I mean, Pascakob, Jimmy Butler, you know, Luca, Fox, etc. Like, you trade for these players, you sign extensions with the teams that trades for you. Um, and Miami has to change their approach. So, I I I think it, you know, we’ll talk about the salary cap impacts and I know a lot of people have been talking about Barry Jackson, Miami Herald, tweeting about, you know, what the salary cap is going to look like next year for Miami. Luca Fox probably never realistic options. At the same time now, if you’re going to have to upgrade this roster, and that’s a given, yep. Then you’re going to have to do that via trade. Free agency is no longer an option, as you said, and and it’s about acquiring a player and clearing the cap space necessary in order to sign these long-term extensions. So, I don’t know. Are you looking at players down the road who might be extension eligible that might be forcing a trade and whether or not Miami can pounce on those moves? As you said, that’s the way it is, right? And we do have a list of names I want to get to here in a second. But more than that, Darren Fox getting his extension. What does that mean for Tyler Herro in his pending extension talks? We’ll get into all of that next here on Lock on Heat. continue, uh announcement that we want to share. We’re launching our 25 of 25 series where we rank the top 25 Heat players of the last 25 years. It’s a big uh project that we’re working on. We’re really excited. We’re going to start doing shows next week about it. But before uh we need your help on deciding those 25 players. So to cast your vote, join the Lockdown Heat Insider community where we are sending the link to the survey every morning this week. Sign up with the link in the show notes to the Lockdown Heat Insider community and then you will get that link to the uh to your ballot. Do it now because voting ends Friday night. Uh Darren Fox’s new contract works out to roughly $57 million per year in annual average uh average annual value uh in the range of what Tyler Herro can sign starting in October 50 plus million. Now like Tyler Heriro Fox is a onetime all-star I think there are obvious holes in Fox’s game. Uh I like the Fox like we already discussed. This is probably a bit of an overpay. I think you’re okay with it if you’re San Antonio. But my question here is whether or not Tyler Hurro in his representation, do they look at this dear Fox contract and say, “Well, he got $50 million a year. We should get that, too.” What do you think? Yeah, I think absolutely. That’s that’s an agent its job. Um, you’re always going to push that envelope. I I think Tyler just feels like that kind of player, youngish, still with plenty of career left and at a point where he has to decide um how much money he wants to make over the course of his career. And I I think it’s an interesting position for him to be in because I think a lot of, you know, we talked about this in the past. Tyler is now kind of at the forefront in terms of how other extensions like this were going to be completed and how much money he’s going to be able to make and just how much he can get out of these teams. I think Fox certainly sets a high precedent. I think Hero is is certainly um now in a position where he could say how how does he view himself in terms of the league? Is he among the the elite players in the league that he feels he deserves that kind of money? I would argue that he does. I I think that’s just again, I’m not reporting anything. It’s just my feeling is in terms of how Tyler views himself and what he’s done over the course of his career, continuing to improve, he’s going to want as much money as he can possibly get. Yeah. It’s an agent’s job, too. Yeah. And he’s going to look at Darren Fox and say, “Hey, one all-star there, one all-star here.” Yeah. Right. I and you can argue Tally Hiro has been deeper in the playoffs than Darren Fox has, but um in terms of I guess if if I were gonna push back on Hero and his representation, I I do think the circumstances are a little bit different, right? Like Darren Fox was traded to San Antonio with the understanding that there would be an extension. They used assets to trade for him, you know, just a handful of months ago. So, they didn’t want to trade those assets to get Darren Fox and then let Darren Fox leave for nothing or be disgruntled in this final year of his contract. So, it’s a little bit of a different situation. I Darren Fox also has shown that I think he could be the best player on a playoff team. And and I think, by the way, that they would have beaten the Kings, they would have beaten the Warriors a couple years ago if he didn’t hurt his hand at towards the end of that series. That’s fair. We have seen that from De’Aran Fox. We have not seen yet from Tyler Hero over these last two years that he can be the number one option on a team that wins a playoff series. So, there’s a difference there as well. Um, Hero also does not have to sign an extension this summer. That’s a huge difference in this, right? Dear Fox, if he was going to sign the extension, it had to be this summer or else he was going to be a free agent next summer. Hero can sign the extension until next summer, which is something that I think is very much on the table, right? I think there will be conversations when Hero is contract eligible or extension eligible rather starting in October. I think there will be some conversations, but they if if they can’t come to some sort of agreement and I would imagine that that agreement doesn’t look like a max contract, then Miami could say we’re just going to wait until next summer. They can do that. Um, and so those are some of the differences in terms of how much more leverage it felt like Fox had. But if you fast forward a summer, Talahiro is going to have leverage because teams are going to have cap space in 2027 when he could be an unrestricted free agent and potentially leave for nothing. So he might not have as much leverage now, but that leverage is coming. Um, so I think that there is some big differences even if on the surface it it kind of looks the same. You know what I mean? Yeah, absolutely. Um, there’s a lot to to parse there. Uh it’s a it’s an interest I I will say this first and foremost I don’t think Tyler I think moreover is I hate again using the terminology worth or anything like that to to kind of put a player it’s hard to pay that player 30% of your cap 50 plus million dollars a year. Yeah. I think that’s a really key difference in the in these two situations as well is like what we were talking about with Duran Fox. He’s sort of the one expensive player on the Spurs roster. The Heat are not like that. They’ve already paid B, right? 50 plus million dollars a year. He’s that guy. And I don’t know how many guys Well, I do know. I think you can have two guys making 50 plus million dollars a year and that’s it. So, if that’s, you know, if that’s how many guys you can have, you have to have a real conversation of what two guys do we think are worth it. The other thing here is I and I think one of the ways that front officers have to think about contracts like this is if we give Tyler Herro $50 plus million dollars a year, how tradable is that contract if we have to get off of it for some reason? And I would argue that that that’s going to be a tough contract to get off of. So I I don’t think you can pay Tyler. I’m on record of being the Tyler Hero apologist, but I’m also here saying you can’t pay him 50 plus million dollars a year. can’t you can I can appreciate Tyler Herro for who he is as a player but at the same time understanding from a roster building perspective we just can’t pay him we can’t pay him and I’ll say there’s two things here and I want to go back to a point you made about how Tyler Herro views himself in the league and what he wants to accomplish in the league if he wants to reach the NBA finals again he has to take less he has to and it’s on Miami’s front office to communicate that there’s no way to build a championship roster around Bam and Hero making $110 million combined, making upwards of 60% of your salary cap. You can’t do it. It’s impossible. You can’t build that roster. So, what does Tyler Hero want? Is he willing to do a Jaylen Brunson and say, “I’ll take less money if it means we could build the team around me.” I mean, that puts him in a really tricky position because players, there are certain levels of status that are tied to contracts around the league. And as much as you might think or you wouldn’t want to as a fan, you wouldn’t want to believe that or or see it that way, I think taking hometown discounts as they’ve been called in the past, those kinds of things are for the fans. And yes, the front office gets to breathe a sigh of relief, but the players need to show each other that they believe themselves to be those kind of players. are always going to pursue more money. And I think that’s where Tyler is at this point right now. Uh I I’ll go take it one step further. What does Tyler have to do over the next year? Let’s say he punts between now and next off season in order to be the kind of player that might be more quote unquote deserving of that max contract extension. He has to be the number one option on a team that wins a playoff series. And that probably is going to take a big playmaking jump from him. Like that’s what that I think that would take for for the Heat to be able to do that because there’s no questioning his scoring, his shooting, and all these things. But what this team needs is a engine, and they don’t have an engine on offense right now. And if Tyler Herro could prove to be that engine for a team that can win a playoff series, then we can start having that conversation. Uh but until then I I just don’t know that you could pay guys just offguards in today’s NBA. They just don’t it’s that’s tough. It’s tough to commit financially to an off guard in today’s NBA because again we’re in a world where we’re not in a big three NBA anymore. We’re kind of in a big two and then fill out the rest of your depth. And the offguard used to be the third guy, right? You need an engine of your offense and you need an anchor of your defense. Spam is the anchor of Miami’s defense. He’s worth the money. Done. But if you’re going to pay somebody else that kind of money, then they have to be the engine of the offense because it’s really hard to find those players who are engines of an elite offense that aren’t making the max or something close to it. So, um, you know, it’s almost it’s like not even personal to Tyler Hero. It actually has everything to do with this new salary cap. Players like Tyler Herro used to just get the max, right? I just don’t think that we live in a in in in a salary cap world anymore where where you can afford to give those kinds of players the max. It’s just it’s a tough market for offg guard. So unless Hero proves that he could be an onball lead playmaker guy for an offense that can win playoff rounds until we get to that point, I don’t think that you could pay him like that. So, um, there is one other point that I do think is worth making here is the Heat did take care of him before, like the the the the $100 million contract that was uh or more than that, whatever it was, where he’s making now $30 million a year. Mhm. That was looked like as an overpay by most Heat fans and probably around the league. Everybody was like, that’s a pretty big bet on Tyro. He has been worth the money. Yeah. So far, they’ve already taken care of him once. And I just I wonder if that plays a factor at all in in the relationship between player and front office here. Uh do you have anything else on this before we move on? No, I think that’s a good point. Um but we typically don’t see players say, “Oh, well, you took care of me once.” Especially if he continues to improve because then again, they’re going to always bank on themselves. are always going to have the belief, however realistic or not it might be, that they’re going to continue to either stay excellent or continue to excel and get better. And that’s what the his representatives are going to pitch towards the Heat Front office. It’s that this is a player who’s gotten better every year. He’s going to continue to get better. And if you want to pay a player that’s even better than what he is, you’re going to have to pay a lot of money for it. So, with Fox off the table, where does that leave the Heat looking next summer? We’re going to talk about what stars are still options after this. Today’s episode is brought to you by Open Phone.

All right, so let’s take a look at Miami’s salary cap situation going forward here. So in 2026, um, next summer going into next season, the Heat have eight players under contract. That includes Andrew Wiggins who has a player option. Um, so they have eight players under contract with Wiggins. Essentially, no cap space, but plenty of room under the tax and the aprons. So, whenever you keep hearing about, hey, Miami, they want to maintain flexibility, all of that stuff. This is what they’re talking about, right? They’re not talking about, oh, we have a bunch of cap space, cuz they don’t. But they have a ton of flexibility because they’re so far under the luxury tax and the cap aprons that they have uh the use of mid-level exceptions, the full mid-level exception uh and plenty of wiggle room and no sort of um uh rules against what kind of trades that they could make necessarily. So, um that’s where they’re at. Now, they do have the ability to create cap space. To do that, they would have to renounce Tay Rosier, Norm Pal, Simone Feeko, and Hwood Highmith. So, if they renounce all of their free agent rights, which would mean that they can’t sign and trade them and they would just be unrestricted free agents and that’s it and they would be off the books, Miami couldn’t resign them with bird rights, none of that stuff. Um, if they were to just renounce those four players and Wiggins declines his player option, then they can have about $25 million in cap space plus things still like the non-t taxpayer mid-level exception that we already talked about. So, uh, there is some wiggle room here to create some real cap space and there is real flexibility to go along with it. What they don’t have next summer is the space necessarily to sign uh, a maxle free agent. Now, maybe that doesn’t matter because what we already talked about in the first segment, David, free maxle free agent superstars don’t usually become free agents after Luca Donuch and Darren Fox and Jiren Jackson Jr. signed extensions. There’s not a great group of guys in 2026. That basically leaves Trey Young and LeBron James as the only two guys right now who are without a contract going into the 2026 27 season. Um, so there are ways that Miami could figure it out. They could do signing trades to go get those guys if they want. They, like I said, they can open up $25 million in cap space. I don’t think Trey Young or LeBron would come for $25 million or less than that. So whatever. But like there’s way like they do have the flexibility to go in and get those guys via signing trades and trades and other things like that if they really want to make that happen. But you know what? I’ll stop there. Trey Young, LeBron James, I guess. Thoughts thoughts on everything I just said because I I I want to circle back to a point you made earlier, but before we do that, I’ll pause here. No. Yeah. Nothing specific to add there because it’s just it just shows you how the market has changed so much. It always used to seem like free agency was the way of uh being able to build your team and continue to address areas of need of acquiring such star and uh that market just continues to shrink throughout the league. And there’s nothing wrong specifically with either LeBron or Trey Young, but uh again to your point, neither of them I think likely to be on the move. I think if if they they were going to move Trey Young, it would have been this off season. And I think LeBron controls his own destiny even at this stage in his career. So I’m not sure exactly what he wants to wind up doing. But um again, I think if he wanted to leave the Lakers, he probably would have done so by this point and it would have forced his way to whatever team would have. So to circle back on that point about, hey, you got to trade for these superstars. Now, Mhm. you made the really good point earlier. If you’re the Heat’s front office, or if you’re any front office looking for a superstar, who are the star players coming up for an extension, cuz that’s what I’m looking at because as soon as those extension talks break down now, I’m thinking that those players are available. By the way, Trey Young on this list right now, he’s going to be extension eligible here also. And if he doesn’t reach an extension, maybe he gets traded right before training camp starts, right? like you have no idea what’s going to happen between now and the start of the season. There’s still plenty of time left here. So, these guys are out there now, but they might not be by the time we reach uh next summer. But, if I’m looking at extension guys who could potentially be free for agents in 2027, if they don’t reach extension agreements with their uh current teams before then, now maybe we have a list of guys who could be potentially getable between now and the summer of 2027. So really specifically next summer when these guys tend to move pre- agency, right? That list is a lot more interesting, David. That list includes Giannis, Anthony Davis, Nicola Joic, Carl Anthony Towns, Donovan Mitchell. That’s the list. And if you’re the Heat and you are dead set on superstar pursuits, and I don’t mean to get Heat fans hopes up because there’s just there’s too much of that out there right now. But if you’re also the Heat’s front office, there’s got to be a whiteboard somewhere in your CASSA center office with these names on it just being like, “Okay, if something happens and these guy and one of these guys becomes available, are we ready to pounce? Are we ready to make our move on one of these guys?” Those are the names on that whiteboard. They have to be um not just that and that has to be the primary goal. I think Miami has done as good a job as possible of building depth through the draft of getting players here and there acquiring Norm Powell and clearing some of the you know extraneous players on that roster was a really smart move. But I think ultimately if you’re trying to put your team into contention, acquiring a star level player has to be the main pursuit because I think they they’re fully aware of where Bam and Tyler are. But you’ve made the point before and you made it earlier. Bam has so much value and you can argue that as much as you want to as a fan, but ultimately again the front office believes it and the numbers back it up. Bam is a winning player and contributes to winning because of the impact that he makes across the board. So, you’re just going to have to learn to accept it or change your view of what a star level player is. Bam, it is. And bam, it fits that category. He fits that description. And um he’s going to continue to be greatly appreciated by this front office. It’s just a matter of getting the other star player to compliment him that that’s going to be able to take this team to another level offensively. And I don’t know that it’s Tyler. We just we’ve talked about this before. So having to acquire that player is of a paramount importance for this team if they want to be able to contend. So you’re looking at those big names and as unrealistic as they might seem right now, that’s the goal. It has to be for this team to acquire a star level player. And I don’t know how it’s possible. I don’t know what’ll be left on the roster if you make other smaller ancillary moves, but the goal is still the goal because right now you just don’t have that star player. This is a different discussion than three years ago. You know, this is a very different discussion than why couldn’t Miami get the power forward, right? That could complement Jimmy Butler and that group when they were going up against, you know, other teams on their in the NBA playoffs. You know, that that’s a different conversation because Butler was that guy. Butler was that that player that could reach that next level, especially during the playoffs. They don’t have that anymore. And it’s not Bam and it’s not Tyler because at least we just haven’t seen it from Tyler. If he reaches that level this year, I would be greatly surprised, but pleasantly so. Sure. Of course. Yeah. It just you don’t often see players up their averages to the kind of levels that we saw from Jimmy Butler. Um or just change the way like we’ve already seen a dramatic style of play change from Tyler Herro. And he’s sort of he was asked to do two very different things last year before Jimmy Butler got traded and after Jimmy Butler got trade. I think Tyler can get better, but to the point I made earlier, is he ever going to be the guy who moves the needle for an offense in the way that the Heat need? That’s the biggest question. Now, if you’re looking at this list, Giannis obviously can do that. Nigloic can obviously do that. Donovan Mitchell, I I think can obviously do that, right? This is a guy on MVP ballots this summer, so or this past season. So, you know, that’s that’s why we’re we’re keeping these names uh on a whiteboard somewhere. But that’ll do it for us today. Thanks for making Lockdown Heat your first listen. If your second listen, find the Locked On NBA podcast where there is no offseason. Doug, Matt Hayes, our must listens over there on the Lockdown NBA channel. Part of the Lockdown podcast network, your team every day.
