"Sometimes in life, the best path is not always the easy path. For the Miami Heat, though, they'd be absolutely foolish and would grow to regret a decision not to pursue Trae Young via trade should he suddenly become available on the block. Young could be described as the Heat's "easiest" path to land a star player, but it's become very clear that Miami would have some very clear reservations about pulling the trigger on a deal."
"According to Heat insider Ethan Skolnick, the "word about Young has never been glowing" inside the Heat's organization. Skolnick also added that it would be "hard to see" the Heat emerging as the team that trades for Young, or even takes a shot at him in free agency in the next two years. All in all, it's a pretty clear strike down of any thought that the Heat could make a move for Young."
"Young and Bam could wreak havoc on opposing defenses if they were at the head of the Heat's offense. Everything aside for the moment, Young would immediately inject a level of excitement for the fan base and, more specificially, Bam. Bam's never played next to a playmaker as dynamic as Young, and it would immediately make life for him much easier on the offensive end of the floor."
Miami Heat currently show significant hesitation to pursue Trae Young via trade or free agency despite his potential availability. Internal sentiment toward Young has never been glowing and the organization appears unlikely to trade for him or pursue him in free agency over the next two years. Young represents a strong offensive fit next to Bam Adebayo and would create easier offensive opportunities and excitement for both Bam and the fan base. Legitimate concerns include Young's career-long inconsistency and his reputation as primarily an offensive, one-way star, which conflicts with Miami's emphasis on two-way play.
