Trae Young Traded, Knicks Slipping, and a Rising Star in Portland

The first trade of the NBA season is a wild one. On this episode of the Heat Check, Trysta reacts to Trae Young being dealt to the Wizards for CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert. She breaks down why Trae may be unfairly criticized, what his reset in Washington could look like, and how he can help the Wizards grow (or tank) more effectively. Plus, Trysta checks in on the Utah Jazz and asks whether they’ve tanked too hard despite Keonte George flashing real star potential. The Knicks have hit a wall losing four straight and Trysta isn't sure they have what it takes to win the East. She closes with a deep look at Deni Avdija’s breakout in Portland and why the league is starting to take notice.
