I did a Tankathon. The Mavs got #3. The Hawks got #8.
The Hawks looked good with CJ McCollum as a secondary ballhandler, but need an upgrade.
Mavs receive #8 and #23, plus Kispert, Risacher and Hield
Hawks receive Kyrie and #30
The trade is financially even though I view Hield and Risacher as negative contracts, as they each have two years remaining. I think Kispert would be a good stretch player. #8 becomes the best of Burries, Brown, Acuff or Lopez. #23 is either Johnson, Swain or Evans.
If the Mavs could leave the Draft with Wilson, Burries and Swain, that's a hell of youth movement. Masai can use the MLE and PJ, Gafford and Risacher to trade for PG.
