POR always seems to be the best third in a 3-way…Grant, Brogdon, & Simons could help a team like ATL and POR should be receptive to picks and cap relief vs win-now stuff. I could see ATL valuing WCJ and/or Isaac, maybe Black, but, otherwise, ORL really doesn’t have much for them.

ATL sends: Capela, Hunter, Murray
ATL gets: WCJ, Jerami Grant, Brogdon, DEN 25 frp

POR sends: Brogdon, Grant
POR gets: Anthony Black, De’Andre Hunter

ORL sends: WCJ, A. Black, DEN 25 frp
ORL gets: Murray, Capela

ATL gets better fitting win-now guys, gets off Capela & Hunter overpays (decent players…but overpays)
POR saves a TON of money, gets a long, versatile defense-first prospect, and a younger, cheaper, versatile version of Grant in Hunter
ORL gets a straight up savage guard next to Suggs, who improves the team on both ends, and a better fitting vet rim-protector without giving up much draft capital by utilizing cap space to facilitate.

* I assumed ORL would be slinging picks around, but it seems pretty fair to all, given team priorities & timelines. Some will argue Capela > WCJ …but reconsider that. WCJ does everything pretty well, including spread the floor, is younger and much cheaper. I’d happily leave the ORL/ATL Center swap out, but I consider it a sweetener for ATL…Is POR owed more? Don’t ignore Anthony Black’s fit & upside. (They’re getting off a LOT of old man salary.) maybe srps or another frp from ORL?…no?

I think Atlanta needs to prioritize defense, not getting two more offensive players who play the same position as their two best remaining players.

Love it for POR

Didn’t see this proposal when I made mine (combine if desired).

I like it for Portland.

I kind of like yours better, for ORL, but I think it's a pick too much as, imo, WCJ and AB are clearly worth a decent frp, so even if the other two are later frps - it's a lot

...ORL would have to find a C...but, without taking on Capela's salary, they'd still have enough to go hunting a younger, better option like Hartenstein or Claxton (if his price doesn't get crazy). I figured taking on Capela and moving out Hunter were both benefits to ATL...but I could also see the obvious appeal of Black to ATL.


Here it is, for those who missed it (like I did)...

Hawks/Magic

Hawks trade Murray
Magic trade WCJ/Black/25 FRP (Denver)/26 FRP

Murray provides Magic with a quality PG who might make the best defensive backcourt.

Hawks get a center who can hold his own and replace Capela/Okongwu while getting a bigger PG/SF and 2 picks. The picks will most likely be out of the lottery but can be valuable-especially 25s.
