HEAT TRAINING CAMP HEATS UP: Herro’s $150M Extension, Starting Job Battle, and Spoelstra’s Tempo Talk
Tyler Herro made headlines at Miami Heat media day after addressing his contract extension eligibility — but is he really willing to take less than the max?

Plus, we dive into the Heat’s biggest training camp battle at power forward: Nikola Jovic openly stating he wants to start vs. Kel’el Ware’s more reserved approach. We also react to Spoelstra’s hilarious take on “playing fast,” and give injury updates on Dru Smith and Pelle Larsson.

Question Tyler at 40million a year, how much of a tradeable contract at that # and what could be the compensation?
The #PointJovic era begins now. 🔥🔥🔥 #ExtendNiko
Anything is possible. Bam can’t step up without Jimmy & without Tyler they are looking to Powell & Wiggins not Bam to carry this team & yet he is getting max $.
Shout out to Trae Young for being in the league for 7 years and only making the playoff 3 times & getting smashed in the first round 2 of those 3 appearances and he and others think he’s deserves the max😂😂
Herro over Ingram? Idk
That city background makes it more professional. You both should do it
Nico needs to stay healthy if he wants to start
It depends on the match up
Say whatever you want about herro, but at least he won’t quit on the team
37 to 40 mil is fine for a guy in his prime putting up all-star production. It's 2025. We can whine about his defense but most superstars don't play any defense and get hunted…also, Herro has more on his shoulder than he should due to the roster limitations. 40 is the most imo.
When they low ball his fragile ass 😂. Difference was Jimmy DESERVED the max. Tyler doesn't. So he gotta pull these im a good boy routines. Sir the last i remember you talked big when jimmy left. Got spanked exposed and blown out. Steadily trying to pass it off to jimmy. WEAK. Now here you go again. Tyler is a perfect name for this guy.
Herro is not better than Ingram, he’s healthier. $37 mil take it or leave it
Instead of using the number to talk about contracts, you should instead use percentage of the salary cap. That's easier to put into perspective.
I just thought about something interesting.
Herros first extension was 4/120
This next one could be 3/120 (40 mil)
If he becomes a superstar his next extension could be 2/120
Lost my joy tyler still on the heat
Herro has matured to become a real professional. I love him on the Heat
Knowing spo dru starts at pg so that the second unit keeps continuity
