The Miami Heat continued to make moves as they have acquired guard Davion Mitchell from the Toronto Raptors, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania. In exchange, they will send out recently re-acquired forward PJ Tucker, a second-round draft pick, and cash considerations.
Trade Details:
- Miami Heat Receive:
- Davion Mitchell
- Toronto Raptors Receive:
- PJ Tucker
- Second-round draft pick
- Cash considerations
ANALYSIS: Davion Mitchell, 26, has averaged 6.3 points, 4.6 assists, and 1.9 rebounds over 44 games this season, starting in 22 of them. He is set to become a restricted free agent after the season.
A defensive dynamo, Mitchell bolsters the Heat's backcourt depth that includes Tyler Herro, Terry Rozier, and Duncan Robinson as they prepare for the latter part of the season.
PJ Tucker, a seasoned forward, brings veteran experience to the Raptors. The inclusion of a second-round pick and cash considerations provides Toronto with additional assets for future flexibility, but it will be interesting to see if Tucker gets traded again to a potential contender that could use his services.
