    Agreed, 3 1sts alone is a haul for Murray. That’d probably be in addition to Johnson and/or Cooper in the package as well.

    I like the Hawks going for it too. This is the Jrue Holiday package. Clunky fit offensively because Trae does not like to play off ball, but Murray makes up for a lot of his defensive issues.

    Makes me wonder if they'll just keep Collins moving forward. But that lineup is going to be expensive:

    Young - 37
    Collins - 24
    Capela - 18
    Bogdanovic - 18
    Murray - 17
    Huerter - 15

    And a 15-20 mil extension coming for Hunter.

    They should trade Collins for some salary relief.

    They realized that it doesn't make any sense to play for the 10th seed every year, and they are focussed on 23 loaded Draft

    Then they should trade Capela and Bogdan for Gobert. Not because it makes basketball sense, but just because I want Bogdan and Bojan on the same team.

    They'll combine it with the rumored Gallo-for-Murray deal, and we'll send EBEC to ATL and picks to SAS.

    i was thinking the same.

    Gallo + Keon + future first from POR + future first from ATL to Spurs.

    Collins to POR

    Bledsoe + Murray to ATL

    Grant Little Walker
    Hart Sharpe

    Not ideal, that's why I said MLE should be backup center.
