Give the 2025-26 NBA season a little more time to breathe, and the trade market should come to life. In fact, the rumor mill is already rustling. And that has to be of particular interest to the Miami Heat, who have so far been unable to address their superstar void.
You might think, then, they'd be keeping close tabs on the Atlanta Hawks, who, one Eastern Conference executive opined, will "at least pick up the phone and listen" if teams come calling about star guard Trae Young, per ESPN's Tim Bontemps. Given Miami's lack of a primary playmaker and general need for perimeter scoring, Young sort of feels like a natural for this franchise.
