P.J. Tucker traded to Raptors in multi-team deal

The Miami Heat have been active during the trade deadline, notably trading star Jimmy Butler to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for players including Kyle Anderson and a first-round pick. As part of the transaction, P.J. Tucker was acquired but quickly flipped to the Toronto Raptors for guard Davion Mitchell, who is set to become a restricted free agent. Tucker, who did not play for the Heat this season, aims to find new opportunities with the Raptors after a lackluster performance against the Warriors. Meanwhile, the Heat's moves seem geared towards getting under the luxury cap while bolstering their roster with young talent. Mitchell has averaged 6.3 points per game this season, contributing to Miami's strategy for financial flexibility. The trades signal a significant reshaping of the Heat's roster as they look to improve their standing in the league.
