ATL: KP + Kennard + Risacher + FRP --> $41M expiring + young player (20) + pick
This option has been discussed at length and I think if it were really an option, the deal would be done. Atlanta seems to be holding out Risacher. They might be offering Newell and/or no pick.
DET: Harris + Ivey + Holland --> $26M expiring + two young players (23 and 20). Ivey extension $20-25M.
Detroit doesn’t need to do this deal but if they’re serious about winning a title, they’ll give it a hard look. Dallas wouldn’t get a pick but the two young players are both recent 5th overall picks. Dallas would also gain the flexibility of dealing Ivey if they don’t want to extend him.
CHI: Vucevic + Collins + White (25) + FRP —> $39M expiring + youngish player (25) + pick. White extension $25-30M
I don’t think this deal makes Chicago a contender but there are a lot of reasons for them to like this deal. White can play next to Kyrie but Dallas will likely need to shed salary to sign him to an extension. They could also move White later.
TOR: Poeltl + Barrett or Quickley + 2 FRP --> Starting center + $30M youngish player (25 or 26) + 2 picks
This deal frees up Dallas to also move Gafford, potentially for expiring money and another FRP. Barrett is on a shorter deal than Quickley and could be moved or retained at a number that’s similar to what Coby White is likely to get.
CHA: Sexton + Green + Williams + Mavs ’27 —> $26.7M expiring + $27.2 expiring following year + likely lottery pick
I don’t see this deal as likely but if the Hornets want to see if Ball can win, they could do worse than making him the second best player next to a high character veteran. For Dallas, this deal would extend the tank to two years resembling San Antonio’s rebuild.
HARD PASS on the Toronto deal. The others are interesting.
