TRADE:Porzingis+2nd to ATL | Mann+ #22 to BRK | Niang+2nd to BOS

[Luka77]

Do you think these moves were inevitable even without the Tatum injury?  Or do you think they would have tried to keep most of the team together (maybe move one of Jrue or KP) if Tatum was not injured.

It also raises the question of teams with multiple high level paid players if this is a roadmap they will follow.  For instance, Orlando.  They have Paolo and Franz coming up.  Suggs is making good money and so is Bane.  Will they need to do some cost cutting in two years?

How long is the CBA good for?  Do you think there are some changes in the next one?

I think Boston's new owners having to pay 500 million in luxury tax had more to do with those trades than a Tatum injury.  Tatum injury only made it easier for them to offload salary.
