I am not sure if Green, Holmes, GW and Curry is enough salary to make this work. Didn't check it, just feels like it is not enough. But, I may be wrong.
Protecting 2027 pick is not simple. If you protect that pick, it turns into a second rounder if not conveyed. So teams might accept a very light protection because they would still have high chance of actually getting the FRP. Stronger protection greatly increases possibility that they get just a second rounder instead of the FRP. That is why I think protections on the pick greatly decrease its value.
Hunter is just what you said - on paper he looks great, but is not really good in Atlanta. That's why they are willing to move him. A change of scenery might work for him, but his 4 year deal is quite a risk. Hunter is not really great defender neither is he a very efficient offensive player. He is also not really a big wing (PF) Mavs would need - Siakam fits that description much closer. Mavs would remain small and still lack the rebounding.
If I would have a choice, I would definitely try to go after Siakam instead of Hunter. Hunter would still be imho a better fit than THJ, but I wouldn't give up Green, GW and pick to get him, even with Capela attached to the deal.

Here's my shot at this. probably a little simpler
Raptors gets
Hunter & Green
they get two young cost controlled wings that can play now for a guy that can leave this offseason
Hawks gets
Siakam & Holmes
they get the best player in the deal and a backup center. if it doesn't work, they have fixed their cap for this offseason
Dallas gets
Capela & Bey
they get the backup center they desperately need and another wing that can shoot.
No picks should be needed since Siakam can be a free agent this offseason. |
