Would you do it?

We do need to add in OMax or Powell. My bad on that

The more I think about this, it sort of makes sense.  Trading for a 35 year old making over 30 million for the next year is really scary though.   

Watching highlights of Flagg, he has a good feel of throwing alley oops and also creating open threes.  Woudl you rather have Jrue or Caleb Martin catching open passes at the three point line?  Both defend the same type of player too.   

Boston clears a ton of salary and can still be in good position for when Tatum comes back.    Maybe even Martin can give you 75% of what Jrue gave you???

Atlanta gives up pick 22, but can get a wing at 13 and Gafford for 22.   Add that to their young nucleus and that could be a interesting team.  The question is they have two centers who will be making good money.  Is that worth it?

This trade at least gets you thinking.    I can't think of another trade where we give up more that i would be ok with.    It is also scary think a guy like Brad Stephens who is patient and deliberate, just waiting for desperate Nico to fold.
