On June 4, NBA Heat reporter revealed: The team's management is actively discussing the next contract renewal with defender Herro, a three-year maximum salary contract of about $149.7 million. Heat president Riley publicly stated that Herro is completely worth considering renewal. His outstanding performance this season has been unanimously recognized by the team's management.

26-year-old Hiro, playing as a point guard, played for the NBA Heat in 2024-2025. He played in a total of 77 games in the regular season, averaged 35.4 minutes per game, scored 23.9 points + 5.2 rebounds + 5.5 assists + 0.9 steals + 0.2 blocks, shooting percentage of 47.0%, three-point shooting percentage of 37.0%, and free throw shooting percentage of 87.0%.

Heat management believes that since Butler left the trade, Herro performed very well on the offensive end this season and became the team's first scoring point. Although he was a little unscrupulous on the defensive end, he believed that he would continue to improve in the future and become a star with balanced offense and defense. This season, he was selected into the All-Star lineup for the first time in his career, so his contract renewal salary will be greatly improved according to NBA league rules.
