"The Miami Heat can't compete as constructed, but Trae Young could be the next star Pat Riley lands. The four-time All-Star is in the final year of his contract and has no clarity on his future. Miami is always hunting for the next marquee name, and fans have heard the links. All the Heat must do is offer a package the Hawks can't refuse."
"Miami is light on draft capital, and the Hawks improved their roster this offseason. If both teams have their eyes on contending, this package likely centers more on talent that can help Atlanta win games. The Heat have several tradeable contracts and could make things interesting for the Hawks. Young is an elite playmaker, and the Heat's urgency may have ramped up with Tyler Herro's injury."
Miami could pursue Trae Young in his contract year by offering a package built around Tyler Herro, one first-round pick, a second-round pick and two role players. The Hawks, short on draft capital, likely want a bucket-getter and picks to preserve competitiveness, so Miami must present talent that helps Atlanta win now. Young's elite playmaking can unlock Bam Adebayo and Kel'el Ware, improving offensive spacing and creation. Miami would retain Nikola Jovic, Davion Mitchell, and Andrew Wiggins while relying on Mitchell-Young chemistry in the backcourt. Heat Culture and Erik Spoelstra's system could maximize Young's skill set.
