ATL is hard capped at A1. Their payroll is 170M plus. They can't take another 14M contract because they don't have that much room. Which means the trade idea won't work - they need to send trade matching salary to DAL, and now it gets complicated by player values vs salary to choke down.

Could they not agree to a deal on draft night and execute it after July 1? They should have plenty of room under the 1st Apron once the 25-26 year begins. Their trade exception doesn't expire until 7/7.
