"Trae Young could be on the trade block and, if he is, the Miami Heat can't help but explore what a potential pursuit could look like. Young may not be the perfect trade target for the Heat, but he's a superstar guard who does check a lot of the boxes of what the team could be looking for in a mid-season acquisition."
"According to NBA insider Marc Stein, there's league-wide speculation that the Hawks may be more willing to trade Young than ever before. With the ability to opt out of his current contract with the team after this season, the Hawks may slowly realize that trading him ahead of the deadline should be on the table. Especially if the team is not confident that they'll be able to sign him to an extension after this season."
"Young has had an up-and-down season that has been marred by injury, but he's still managed to average 19 points and nine assists on 42 percent shooting from the field. He's also only appeared in 10 games so far this season, so his inconsistencies on the floor aren't all that surprising. The question is, would the Heat be at all interested in making a move for Young? The answer to that question could be complicated. In a vacuum, the Heat should be open to the idea of pursuing Young."
Trae Young could be on the trade block as the Hawks consider trading him before the deadline, especially given his ability to opt out after this season. Young has averaged 19 points and nine assists on 42 percent shooting this year despite an injury-marred campaign and just 10 games played. The Miami Heat view Young as a superstar playmaking guard who checks many acquisition boxes and would pair well offensively with Bam Adebayo. Defensive concerns and recent inconsistencies complicate his evaluation. The Heat remain constrained by limited assets and are awaiting clarity on Giannis Antetokounmpo's situation before committing to a major midseason trade.
