Trae Young reportedly a backup option for Miami Heat if Giannis pursuit fails

The Miami Heat are reportedly keeping an eye on the superstar market, with Trae Young emerging as a potential fallback target if they miss out on Giannis Antetokounmpo.

According to Jake Fischer, the Washington Wizards point guard has become another “big fish” backup option for Miami, alongside LA Clippers star Kawhi Leonard and Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant.

The scenario depends on the Giannis Antetokounmpo trade chase: if Boston, Portland or another team outbids Pat Riley and the Heat, Miami could pivot to another high-profile target.
