His contract is a year shorter?

I...would strongly consider it for that reason alone.

Schroder surely very available

Dennis Schroder's future in Atlanta was uncertain even before the Hawks used the pick they acquired by trading down with the Mavericks on Oklahoma point guard Trae Young. You'll recall that at a media availability last month in his native Germany, Schroder said he wanted to discuss his future with the organization and suggested he would like to play for the Indiana Pacers or Milwaukee Bucks.

The desire to move Schroder is surely mutual, but with few teams in the market for veteran point guards and Schroder's contract ($15.5 million per season over the next three years) paying him more than he has merited thus far in his career, finding a taker could be difficult. We might learn, if Atlanta moves Schroder, just how motivated the team is to get him out of the locker room and clear a starting spot for Young.


No veterans traded during draft

While the Hawks-Mavericks swap highlighted a handful of trades involving first-round picks, in a rarity, there were no trades involving veteran NBA players announced on draft day. You'd have to go all the way back to 2003 to find the last time a draft day concluded without any veterans getting traded...

If the Hawks can’t trade Schroder, it means he will have to coexist with Young next season. That would be harder to do if Schlenk publicly expresses a desire to trade Schroder, who was upset when his name surfaced in rumors at the deadline. Schroder probably believes he’s going to be traded, but if he stays put, it would be foolhardy for Schlenk to exacerbate any hurt feelings by making it know Schroder is expendable. 

From what I hear, Schroder has not pushed the issue of wanting to be traded directly with the Hawks. After drafting Young, the Hawks reached out to reassure him that he’s still part of their plans. 

And I still don’t think the Hawks believe Schroder is that expendable. Schroder regressed last season because of poor defense and 3-point shooting, and his playmaking was up-and-down. But he’s still an elite rim attacker, and he doesn’t turn 25 years old until September. 

There is no circumstance in which I can see Young starting over Schroder. A more plausible scenario has Schroder starting alongside shooting guard Kent Bazemore, with Young coming off the bench to play alongside Schroder for a few minutes.

But I doubt Schlenk is inclined to give Schroder away in a wildly uneven deal. He made a lopsided trade to send Dwight Howard to Charlotte last year because he was eager to get rid of him, but I don’t think there is the same desperation for trading Schroder.

Some of these ding a lings actually think they can get Dennis for Biz straight up. Easier said than done, but they need Dennis focused on the season while Schlenk finds a decent deal.

If you can flip Jeff Green somewhere else then we're saving 8 million a year for the next 3 years ant 15 million in year 4. Even if you can't Green's deal is only 2 years which means you're paying the same for two years then saving 8 and 15 then next 2.

Dennis / Baze are big upgrades for a win now grizz team.

I'd pass, if we're not getting 'stuff' in return for the rebuild now I'd rather keep them.

We need to consider getting Dennis out of here as very important to the rebuild. That's the first plus. Saving a ton of money is another huge plus.

dont see why a Reggie for Schroder swap cant happen. Reggie's got one less year on his deal at around the same rate. Nice expiring for next season or you can ship him off to orlando.

Pass, Biz is not opting out of his contract next season. He'll be signing vet mins after that contract ends.
