Heat Land Trae Young

Heat Receive:
  • Trae Young

  • Clint Capela

  • Jalen Johnson

The Heat don't do this deal to simply fill a positional need. They do it to acquire one of the best playmakers in basketball. That’s what Young is. On the other hand, he’s also one of the worst defensive players in the NBA. Luckily, Jimmy Butler can cover for some of his shortcomings in that regard. So can Capela. The Heat replace their starting center immediately in this deal while adding an elite offensive player.

Hawks Receive:
  • Bam Adebayo

  • Tyler Herro

  • Duncan Robinson

  • Two First-Round Picks

If Atlanta is interested in flipping Young for Adebayo and Herro, they might as well add their starting big man into the package. That’s part of the reason they’re getting a pair of first-round picks here. The other is their willingness to take on Duncan Robinson’s deal. Is that adequate value for them? Yes. This deal recoups some of the draft capital they lost in the Murray deal. It also gives them a strong defensive identity. All told, this is a good trade for the Hawks if they’ve got non-basketball reasons to move Young.
