2023 NBA Draft Megathread

Alright... one more deal... three team deal with Dallas and Atlanta.

Dallas out - Bertans/McGee, #10
Dallas in - John Collins and #16

Utah out - KO and #28, #16
Utah in - #15, #10 and Bertans/McGee

Atlanta out - Collins and #15
Atlanta in - KO and #28

We end up with 9, 10, 15 Bertans and McGee are obviously really gross. Feels like we give up too much but if we landed a Ausar/Walker/Hendricks at 9 we can then grab the leftover pg from Wallace/Black and pick your favorite upside play at 15. Its too good for Dallas tbh so maybe they hit us with a **** ton of seconds.

What about KO + 16 for Poole + Kuminga?

I'm not the guy to ask on Kuminga. He's a fine prospect but I have no idea what he is... like seems like he does a few things okay but a little over-rated. Its weird they didn't think he could play at all in the playoffs with the trash they had on the bench.

He actually mentioned this a little and kinda said he was dropping knowledge like Woj. He doesn’t have the in he used to have and DA seems really nimble… so he could pivot while on the clock. I also think this group values keeping as much intel in house as possible.

I also think that Ainge values Locke somewhere below second round picks.

Atlanta needs more value for Collins than that.

I don't think they do... they have tried to move him and passed... and passed... and passed. Holding out for more. Well next year they are $10M over the tax as they sit... before filling out the roster. They also have a ton of committed salary and need to re-up Murray. Clearing Collins 3/80ish M while getting a cheap one year placeholder in the rotation is ideal... and the price of moving back 13 spots in the draft is doable. Its a great deal for them and if they had better than that they would have done it already.

Atlanta losing 14M in salary between the difference in KO and Collins and the picks is substantial. The long term ramifications of getting off of Collins money is enormous for them. Remember what they got in return for Heurter last year? this is far better.
