Denver is hard capped at the 2nd apron if they receive money back in a Watson SNT. So this would be illegal for them as is. You would first have to find a way for them to dump enough money to be able to take in Schroeder and be below the 2nd apron. Watson also cannot get a 5 year deal in a SNT, nor do I think he would sign that type of deal


I also doubt the Hawks are going to go deep into the tax for Allen.

What is your obsession with getting rid of Cavs players who actually posted positive impact stats in the playoffs?

The Cavs aren't doing this. Fedor as much as said the Cavs aren't looking to add both Kuminga and Watson. It will be one or the other.
This will end badly

Seems a big overpay for Allen by Atlanta. Is he really such a big improvement from Okongwu to justify adding Kuminga, and a 1st, and a 2nd?

Pass for Atlanta - too much for Allen, plus puts them in Luxury tax.
