The Miami Heat are a team that is clearly in need of a change, as they are currently a play-in tier team despite the presence of All-Stars Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo on the roster. They need a true difference-making player that could potentially help them get out of the Eastern Conference and win a championship.

There have been some reports that suggested Trae Young could potentially be the next star on a rookie max contract extension that will request a trade. There is no doubt that he would want to go to a team that can be competitive with his addition immediately. The Miami Heat are a team that fits that description, and some have already suggested that they are the perfect landing spot for Trae Young. Here is our trade scenario that would move him to Miami in a three-team deal.

Miami Heat Receive: Trae Young

New Orleans Pelicans Receive: Bogdan Bogdanovic, Onyeka Okongwu

Atlanta Hawks Receive: Tyler Herro, Kyle Lowry, Devonte Graham, Jaxson Hayes, Dyson Daniels, 2023 First-Round Pick (MIA), 2027 First-Round Pick (MIA), 2029 First-Round Pick (MIA), 2024 First-Round Pick (NOP), 2026 First-Round Pick (NOP)

The Miami Heat would loop the New Orleans Pelicans in to ensure the Atlanta Hawks get more draft compensation. The Pelicans, in turn, would receive win-now players who could help them win immediately with Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram. This trade could potentially be a good move for all three teams involved, and here is why each team should make this trade.

Jimmy Butler is a superstar that has shown he can lead a team to the NBA Finals, but he has not managed to do it since the 2019-20 season. He is still playing at a high level, and it is clear that the Miami Heat needs to add more talent around him. The move that makes the most sense involves sending out Tyler Herro and draft compensation and trying to get another top-20 player to put next to Jimmy Butler. In this trade scenario, Kyle Lowry would also be traded for salary-matching purposes.

doubt that he would want to go to a team that can be competitive with his addition immediately. The Miami Heat are a team that fits that description, and some have already suggested that they are the perfect landing spot for Trae Young. Here is our trade scenario that would move him to Miami in a three-team deal.

Trading for Trae Young would give the Miami Heat a top-tier point guard that is capable of shooting from 3PT range and also possesses elite playmaking ability. He is currently averaging 27.5 PPG, 2.9 RPG, and 9.8 APG. It must be noted, however, that Trae Young has been slightly inefficient this year. As of right now, he is only shooting 42.2% from the field and 31.4% from the 3PT range. 

Even though he is having a rough shooting year, Trae Young’s talent is absolutely worth making a huge deal for, especially if you can put him next to two star-level players. There is no doubt that he is still one of the most talented playmakers in the league, and a new situation could help him succeed.
