With the Atlanta Hawks getting the top overall pick, and rumors swirling about Trae Young's availability, Ethan Skolnick and Alex Toledo discuss whether the Miami Heat should take a run at Young -- with concerns about defense and salary. What could he add, and would it be worth it?

There's already a Trae Young on the roster his name is Tyler Herro

[@seanquinn4787]

Disagree. Trae is a much more consistent playmaker and has better handles.

[@Mac2Mon]

@@seanquinn4787 the statistics say otherwise

[@seanquinn4787]

​@@Mac2Mon which ones? Trae doubles Herro in assists per game.

[@Mac2Mon]

@@seanquinn4787 ​​⁠ my bad. Trae has double the assists & triple the turnovers as Herro. So you’re right Herro is a better point guard. Thanks for pointing that out. I was just looking at the shooting %s.

[@TheLexiconMind]

Listening to you guys talk about Trey a point guard suddenly I had a flashback to when Mario and the big three met Linsanity! Lol who remembers that?? The guy was hot nationally going viral week after week because of his play but when he played Miami we ended it lol. After that game he said "I can't remember ever playing a basketball game where it was so hard to even dribble the ball." Lol

[@belowaveragegamer8612]

That's a tough question. Followed by a long winded maybe. 😏

I’m not falling for this shit anymore another summer of getting everybody and settling for buyout players I’m Gucci enjoy your summer guys

[@desireeyepez4411]

Wow Ethan ! Young over Ingram….that’s crazy ! 🤪 😂

[@JohnBurgundy]

lol

[@marqsmith3187]

If the hawks are trying to get rid of some players…I’d like Murray, Jalen Johnson or sadiiq bey in Miami please and thanks

[@Miles_305]

If they get Trae the MUST get a certified rim protector AND Terry and Tyler would have to go...the guard postion would be too small...either way, I highly doubt they go for him. I expect mins and undrafteds at this point.. All time low expectations.

[@tj2fly883]

Y’all need to do an episode on rozier…I wanna know ur thoughts….I think he is gonna b real good for team if we trade Tyler for holes in roster

[@ddninja3348]

Miami would be in the second apron even if they traded Terry, JJJJ, Niko, and Herro for Spider or any other all-star. But, with Spider you would have to pay him, Bam, and Jimmy. I don't see Miami making that move for Spider.

[@luisvaldes4264]

Trae Jimmy bam would be a good combo Trae is a better point guard something this team doesn’t have

[@contentlounge6652]

I don’t understand why we think cavs are gonna let us have Mitchel. If we could trade Tyler Duncan and a 1st for Trae him I’d do it.

[@Phinomenal_pod]

If capella is on the move would he be a good fit around bam?

[@Peace-mk4zk]

Tyler is not miles ahead of Trae on defense wtf lmao

[@MikeJones-xr7ob]

Young is the same as herro

Casual

Not as casual as that comment. #GrowUp been a fan since the thunder Dan and PJ years not that I need to prove anything to the likes of a KZbin troll

C'mon bro. Tyler Zero is maybe half the player that Trae is.

[@MikeJones-xr7ob]

@@dennislopez1272 what does trae bring thats going to be a game changer? A weak guard that loves the 3 ball that doesn't play D . Sound familiar?

[@FrederickGreen-hi7qc]

No no and no, ubre and monk gives you same production less money

[@intalek305]

Wow. I have always taken Ethan seriously right up until the moment he said he'd take Trae Young over Brandon Ingram.....I don't know if there is any coming back from that for me.

[@dennislopez1272]

I can't laugh enough when anyone states that Mitchell is a mid defender. Hes a Top 30 defensive ratings player in the league. What are you guys talking about? Trade Jimmy and Tyler to get the assets necessary to get Mitchell.

[@joelpanes1730]

this is not acceptable to 5 reasons but a cold business decision. 1. trade Jimmy to make room for spidah. 2. trade tyler. add derozan, plays the mid range like jimmy. get 2-3 1st round picks to spice trade for Mitchell. 3. trade caleb for a 2nd round pick. 4. keep duncan, jovic and jaquez. 5. add a big wing from draft. dasilva, furphy or another 7 foot tyler

[@dennislopez1272]

Most of this is OK. NO WAY to Defrozen. Definitely, trade Jimmy to get assets for Mitchell. Tyler Zero can't be gone soon enough. We can't trade Jovic or Jaquez. Bam is a lifer that is young enough to help 2in a title. A starting 5 of Terry, Mitchell, JJJ, Jovic and Bam is a title contender.

[@dmen0563]

I think it could but not that alone

[@solracblonde9480]

No please. Dejounte Murray is a much better fit for us..

[@Taino727]

No thank you. Trade for Donovan Mitchell hes 27. averaging 27 ppg and helps us win now and also fits Bams timeline. It would be Mitchell and Bam for many years to come

[@InfamousSslickX]

Trae is 25 average 26 and 10...

[@InfamousSslickX]

@@Taino727 of course mitchell is the first option but trae is a also a 3 level scorer just not as good as mitch. If we dont get Donovan, I say we go for trae. You would be able to get him a lot cheaper as well

[@Taino727]

@@InfamousSslickX I hear ya but Trae ain't a 3 level scorer super reliant on hitting threes that's a recipe for disaster. Trae ain't a superstar he's better than Tyler but I'm not sure by much

[@Mac2Mon]

How many more point guard/ball handlers do we need to bring to “unlock” Bam? Gogi, Lowry, Oladipo, JRich, Rozier? All they do is bring Bam point guards & it doesn’t help Reality… Herro actually gets Bam involved more than anyone they’ve brought in

[@mightdoit585]

Lowry and sometimes Rozier are the only point guards he’s had the rest were more of a scorer than facilitator

[@Shpankyy]

Youve only named two point guards and they were both over the hill

[@Born2sin]

It's the fuckin culture everyone been playing shit since we lost to the lakers in the finals

[@jckdnls9292]

Anything for clicks eh

[@Taino727]

No thank you on KD, Trae or Ingram. Trade for Donovan Mitchell hes 27. averaging 27 ppg and helps us win now and also fits Bams timeline. It would be Mitchell and Bam for many years to come

[@MotoM1234]

If that’s the best player, you can get back without giving up Pam then I would do it. he’s significantly better than Herro.

[@RealRobbyRobb]

This is a no Question. Trae is more realistic than Donovan Mitchell. I prefer making a move for Trae and not waiting the entire offseason to be outbid for Mitchell by a team with double our picks right around training camp and be forced to run it back

[@anthonycc44]

No😢

[@markc1839]

Every Heat fan knows deep down the Heat are going to run it back. Their goal is to let salaries come off the books and stay below the second apron. Will figure it out once Jimmy’s, Rozier’s and Duncan’s contracts are gone. Till then we get to watch this product and Tyler Herro try to be an all star.

[@justinburchett8424]

Sad, but...probably true

[@Mac2Mon]

Young has almost the exact same numbers as Herro, he just gets to take more shots & grifts for fouls better…. Why pay double?!?
