The Atlanta Hawks have some doubts about Onyeka Okongwu long term, per @KellyIko
“The Hawks, according to conversations with rival executives, agents and former players, are unsure of the long-term prospects of Onyeka Okongwu and Mo Gueye at center from a contention standpoint. Atlanta is an average defensive team (16th in defensive rating, per Cleaning the Glass), but a core featuring Dyson Daniels, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Johnson and Davis has enough versatility and optionality to rewrite a narrative that would have been otherwise impossible with Young as the centerpiece.”
If Atlanta is not married to Okongwu and doesn't include Risacher in the future core, the best implied deal is KP/Risacher/Okongwu for AD/DLo. Significant cap relief and 2 good young players. Add another pick if possible, but that's honestly not a bad deal.
