ATL is actually getting a bargain, since KP is an injured rental, R is meh, and the only value ATL offers is that singular pick. But that deal is likely a fail because of the cap ramifications for ATL and also the roster ramifications (lack of roster room) for DAL. For ATL, it makes them taxpayers, and they also end up with cap issues next season with Trae on their books alongside AD. The issue for DAL is the 2-for-1 (which closes the door on Nemby), which in trade machines looks like it could be solved by adding Hardy, but ATL couldn't (A1 limit). It could be solved for DAL by waiving Exum before the trade, then waiving KP or Powell after. But it's probably not a direction they would like.
So they are turning down/not liking a ~40% chance at Dybantsa, Boozer or Peterson, cause they´d have to waive Exum and Powell. Sometimes I can´t with your assessments.
