Hawks Predicted Starting Lineup

PG - Trae Young

SG - Dyson Daniels

SF - Jalen Johnson

PF - Kristaps Porzingis

C - Bam Adebayo

Why the Hawks would do it:

Win-now move: Bam is an All-Star, elite defender, and perfect PnR partner for Trae.

Proven over potential: Risacher, Bufkin, and Okongwu are talented but unproven.

Roster balance: This would give the perfect balance of offense and defense for ATL that no team in the NBA has.

Why Miami would do it now

1. Start of a rebuild or retool:

With Butler gone, Miami isn't a real contender. Trading Bam speeds up a youth movement.

2. Elite young core:

Risacher (No. 1 pick, big wing upside)

Okongwu (athletic defensive big)

Bufkin (versatile combo guard)

That’s 3 lottery-level prospects to build around.

3. Maybe the Heat could ask for a FRP instead and Hawks would still agree I would say
