1 Did not intend to do so - I thought I was reflecting your implied meaning. My apologies.
2 Fair enough, of course. Opinions differ. While you are afraid they can't get your line, I would want them to say "no" to an offer at your level. In my view, it's way too barren of anything of high value, and I don't think they can afford to let go of AD for what I see as a platter of junk and rando and very-iffy pieces.
KP-Risacher-NO1, for AD, is where I think they might be dancing right now. The deal I would hope to see from there, negotiated to satisfy ATL wish to include Trae is:
Trae-Risacher- NO1-another FRP (limited protection that vanishes over time, if used)
FOR
AD-Martin
ATL gets out of Trae contract, loses no real [proven/desired] talent only picks, their front line becomes VERY versatile and formidable (AD, KP, Okongwu), does NOT pay tax.
DAL gets picks, gets minor salary reduction now, retains room for Nemby, better cap future while eating the salary for Trae.
