Quote from Hollinger:

"I should point out one key piece of flexibility Atlanta lost in this trade, however: It severely constrains the Hawks’ options for any in-season pursuit of Anthony Davis. The Dallas Mavericks big man makes $54 million, and the players Atlanta acquired from Washington cannot be re-aggregated in any future trade this season. That means that stacking the salaries of McCollum and Kispert won’t work as a salary match. Instead, any potential Davis deal would pretty much have to send Porziņģis, Risacher and the expiring deal of Luke Kennard to the Mavs to meet league requirements."

So I think we know who would be coming here, unless the trade gets expanded.

Right, and that has been the rumored salary package, seemingly from a number of sources, for quite some time. I think that's the deal, frankly. What's left to negotiate seems to be about draft capital and not much else, as far as I can tell.
