The Miami Heat have traded guard PJ Tucker, alongside a second-round pick and cash, for Davion Mitchell as they work to navigate their salary cap situation ahead of the approaching luxury tax. This strategic trade, happening shortly before the trade deadline, allows the Heat to stay under the first apron while needing to shave off more salary to avoid the luxury tax. Mitchell, who will be a restricted free agent soon, has averaged 6.3 points and 4.6 assists this season.
By trading Tucker's $11 million salary and inheriting $6.5 million, the Heat were able to duck under the first apron.
Mitchell, 26, is set to be a restricted free agent this summer, averaging 6.3 points and 4.6 assists on the season.
