Poor ATL lol They have to be moving on from Trae Young.
All good teams are top heavy and those top two or top three players always make the rest of the roster look good, even if they were scrubs before.

If Murray is a 6, then I think Bridges is a 7. Just my opinion. Definitely agree Knicks underpaid and Pels got a bargain. This is a real steal for NO, IMO. Especially if they can now move BI to recoup those picks or get another player.
I mean the fact they just drafted Castle and wanted no part of Dillingham should tell you where they stand on small PGs.
What's the thinking as to why ATL is still a legit threat for the play-in? Seems to me all they have now is Trae + Jalen. That doesn't strike me as a team better than Charlotte, for example. I could see Detroit, Washington, and Brooklyn being worse. This version of ATL seems on par with Toronto to me, putting them 11-12th in the east.
Because Dejounte is good enough that they should have been able to get starting quality players or at least a lottery pick or two for him. They got neither.Wait people think the Hawks somehow lost in this?
They break up Trae and Dejounte which obviously wasn't working, get a useful player in Nance, and get two picks on top of it?
The Hawks are 2 playoffs appearances away from the Spurs trading Dejounte for 2 non lottery draft picks
Yeah agree good move for Pels. I still don’t like the fit with BI-Zion-Dejounte I think as you say Ingram is still getting traded. If they can somehow get a rim protecting/vertical spacer C like Jarrett Allen or a floor spacing shooting C that will be good for them.
C
Zion
Murphy
Herb
Dejounte

CJ off the bench
Alternate scenario, because I have a hard time believing PAFTO would even be interested in Trae...
3-team trade where ATL gets their picks back, Trae goes somewhere else, and the Spurs get a handful of picks in the next millennium.
Oh off scott
Passing on a tiny guard like Dilly only to sell the farm for Trae Young would be the BWrongiest move of all time tbh. I'm here for it
least favorable of ATL, CHI and SA 25 pick. And that's way too much to give up for Cam Johnson
IIRC, Derrick White was always the original choice to pair with Trae in the backcourt.
Dyson Daniels has always carried the DW, best case label.
I don't think the Spurs have any interest in Trae tbh. Ball dominant, undersized, average three point shooter...on second thoughts, that last part might appeal to them...
Looking for a Vet to trade for?
There are definitely some options in the works, no way they'd be even considering guaranteeing his contract if he isn't a potential salary filler.
Collins+Graham+Tre equals ~38.5M and Trae will make $43M in the upcoming season.
Time to keep panicking, tbh.
Graham is good salary filler for somebody that wants to dump long term money tbh. Good move.
I was all in for trading for Trae in mid-season; now, no.
Is Wemby, Flagg, Castle, Vassell, and Traore the dream? ...With salary cap to spare.
Trae is what a lot of teams would do here. Castle covers his incredible defensive shortcomings. You don't need many shooters because he's going to be shooting all the shots. You don't take the 8th pick to clear more cap space to absorb his huge salary.
Would castle and Wemby be enough to mask deficiencies of Trae’s Defense?
buying time to find a trade partner
either they will use his 2.85 guaranteed as salary filler as part of a bigger trade (or exercise the guarantee to create 12.5mil in salary matching... which is what happened when the suns sent CP3 to help match beal's salary), or
attach a ty SRP or SRP swap to have somebody else absorb the 2.85 guarantee and free up a small amount of cap space for us
we should be absorbing all the bad contracts until we finally cash out with that 2031 pick
Gotta make sure that extra $10MM is on the cap sheet to block us from being active in the first week of Free Agency.
