Makes sense to me. What is Chandler Parsons if not an expiring to acquire a high salary player’s Bird rights in a year when few teams have cap space? Heck, maybe Drummond picks up his player option.
It obviously depends what Atlanta would send out, but a lottery protected pick from Brooklyn is probably something they can afford to give up. Worst case scenario they’d get something similar back this summer via a S&T if Drummond wants to go elsewhere.
