Trae Young has had little time to celebrate Tuesday's victory against the Miami Heat, clinching the Atlanta Hawks' third straight playoffs appearance. 

What Young and the Hawks accomplishes the rest of the postseason won't matter because of all the trade speculation. It will be an interesting offseason for Young. 

The team is reportedly considering trading him. One of the teams in the mix could be the Heat. The website Sportsbetting.ag recently released its odds of Young's next team. Topping the list was the Heat with 5/2 odds. 

Here's the full list: 

Miami Heat 5/2 (+250)

Chicago Bulls 3/1

Dallas Mavericks 4/1

LA Clippers 5/1

Washington Wizards 8/1

Boston Celtics 9/1

Minnesota Timberwolves 10/1

LA Lakers 12/1

Portland Trail Blazers 14/1

Denver Nuggets 16/1

New Orleans Pelicans 18/1

Oklahoma City Thunder 20/1

San Antonio Spurs 20/1

Utah Jazz 22/1 

Of course, this is all just speculation. But if the Heat miss the playoffs or even have an early exit, team president Pat Riley will be under pressure for a roster overhaul or finding a better supporting cast for Jimmy Butler. Butler isn't getting any younger, so his championship window is closing. 

Young certainly fits the type of player who could serve as an ideal complement to Butler.
