Trae Young rumors may gift Heat an early look at Tyler Herro's trade value

"The Miami Heat could get an early look at what Tyler Herro's trade value is if the Trae Young rumors hold any truth. As similar players, whatever the Atlanta Hawks get in a potential trade of Young could give the Heat an idea of what a Herro trade could eventually look like. Of course, that's in the event that Miami moves to trade Herro."

"According to Marc Stein, the Washington Wizards have emerged as a legitimate landing spot for Young. The whispers are that such a deal would revolve around CJ McCollum's expiring contract. Of course, that'd almost certainly be just the starting point of a deal. You'd imagine that the Hawks would want a young prospect or a first-round pick to be included in a deal, at least."

"The big question is, would the Heat even get to the point where they'd aggressively pursue a Herro trade? That's difficult to answer, even more so considering that Herro has only appeared in six games so far this season. I can't envision the Heat could even get there with how little Herro has played this season, unless, of course, they were in the mix for a superstar player."

The Miami Heat could use any trade involving Trae Young to estimate Tyler Herro's market value, since both players share similar skill sets. Rumors link Young to the Washington Wizards in a deal centered on CJ McCollum's expiring contract, but the Hawks likely would demand a young prospect or a first-round pick as part of any agreement. Whether the Wizards will meet those demands will determine a deal's feasibility and reveal how much teams value a Young-like guard. Herro's limited availability this season, with only six games played, makes a Heat-led Herro trade unlikely unless a superstar opportunity arises.
