"The Miami Heat played no part in the blockbuster Trae Young trade to the Washington Wizards, but there's no question they can learn a valuable lesson from it. And it's this idea that if they're not decisive with the future of their flawed star, it could lead to an undesirable ending."
"Officially, the Hawks traded Young to the Wizards in exchange for C.J. McCollum and Corey Kispert. This was certainly the Hawks trading Young for pennies on the dollar. With all due respect to McCollum and Kispert, this was one of those deals that won't be remembered fondly in Atlanta, especially considering how encouraging things were during the first few years of Young's career."
The Hawks sent Trae Young to the Washington Wizards for C.J. McCollum and Corey Kispert in a deal widely viewed as a salary dump. The trade marked a steep decline in Young's value compared with his early years when he helped lead Atlanta to the Eastern Conference Finals. Young's transformation from promising star to an overrated, hard-to-move contract illustrates the risks of delayed action. The Miami Heat face a comparable dilemma with Tyler Herro, whose contract situation could complicate or hinder a future trade despite his talent.
