Atlanta Hawks

Young
White
Hunter
Collins
Capela

Bogdanovic, Okongwu, Prichard

—————————

* Atlanta get Derrick White, who’s much less ball dominate than Murray, with better passing, and can also defend at a high level.

* Collins can get more offensive touches with White replacing Murray.

* Prichard allows the second unit to operate the same as the first, except with Bogdanovic acting as the playmaker.

* Atlanta recoup first round picks.

Be great but Spurs & Hawks would hang up phone very quickly

[Moranis]

yeah that is no where near enough value to Atlanta and I'm not sure why San Antonio would do that.

Murray alone would take 3 1st's and some valuable assets.  Now you could overcome a 1st with players worth 1st's, but for Boston to even get Murray it would take a couple of its core pieces and frankly it might take Brown (Brown is worth more than Murray, but I'm not sure what else Boston has that could get to Murray's value).

From Hawks I go after Collins. Now might be best time for a deal with Trae rumors as well as Hauser, White and Grant are all regressing back to normal play expectations. Try for

White, Hauser, Grant, a 1st and 2nd
for
Collins

11 man rotation
Smart/PP
Brown/Brogdon
Tatum/Jackson
Collins/Al
TL/Kornet/Blake

Hawks give Trae more spread/outside shooters to make him happy.
C's upgrade the big man rotation and open up more playing time for Brogdon and PP.
