The Miami Heat can't get caught up in the Norman Powell hype, at least not yet. That's the biggest reason they can't move on a contract extension for him just yet, no matter how tempting it may seem. And that's what Heat scribe Ira Winderman lays out so perfectly.
"If you are the Heat, you do not commit to anything else extensive going forward (including a Tyler Herro extension) unless you are certainly you are more, far more, than a play-in team."
That's exactly the mindset the Heat's front office needs to have. Even though it may seem to be the right decision to lock up Powell now, whose extension window is now open, it may not be that simple.
