[KillerLeft]

I just haven't watched enough Herro to have a strong opinion on his value long term.

He has flashes of greatness, but since his first couple of seasons they have become much less frequent. I think he's damn near at "buy low" point, especially taking the contract into consideration. 

I can for sure imagine (don't know, but can imagine) that the Heat don't want him on this extension. It's possible. 

I can for sure imagine Cuban seeing the advantage in lowering his tax bill this year (based on the contract nugget you just provided) and then "worrying about next year...next year". That seems uncomfortably plausible to me. 

I can for sure imagine the Mavs thinking there's a chance Herro is the replacement for Brunson they might think they need. 

Unfortunately, I can also imagine the "worry about it next year" part resulting in Powell and Wood both coming off of the books and signing somewhere else. @"F Gump" or @"DanSchwartzgan" or @"Kammrath" would have to confirm, but as soon as you gave us that tidbit about his extension not kicking in until next year my brain went right to this season's Mavs tax bill and it suddenly felt more possible to me. 

The thing is, if Miami is willing to move on, Herro probably isn't going to be worth that contract. That's the sad part of this fantasy.
