I don't think it's unreasonable to get Derozan on a one year deal without much committment. Not sure he would want to be in Atlanta, may prefer contender but who knows.
I think it's more likely he picks up his $27 mil option.

Offer him $30 mil one year.

Tyrese Haliburton serves as popular early fit with Atlanta Hawksgraymule wrote::D
My choice is still Tyrese Haliburton. He would be a great back up for Trae and play some 2 guard.
He's said to have a high IQ. Ge can handle the ball, play defense and, most important to me, he
has shown that he can make his free throws !!
He may not make it to #6. If he's gone, I have no other favorite. Lots and lots of "pretty good"
prospects in this year's draft. I just believe Tyrese fits exactly what the Hawks needs...
The Athletic -- 8/26/20“If we stay at No. 6, we’re going to take the player we think is going to be the best player long-term,” Schlenk said. “If we create competition with our other young players because they play the same position, there’s nothing wrong with that. That’s healthy.”
Schlenk told 92.9 The Game on Friday morning that “there are about seven guys that we’re really going to focus on.”

Busting BracketsNBA Draft 2020: Best-case scenarios for all 30 franchises
Atlanta Hawks – Draft either Devin Vassell or Tyrese Haliburton at No. 6
With Trae Young and John Collins cemented as cornerstones of the franchises, the Hawks will be looking to see which position could use most improvement. They’ll experiment with Clint Capella at center (his three years left on his deal makes him hard to move) next season, while wing forwards Cam Reddish and DeAndre Hunter showed flashes as a rookie.
Considering that this is the worst defensive unit in the league this past season, it makes sense to get the best available defender in the draft, which would be Vassell from Florida State. But he may [complicate] things for both Reddish and Hunter on the wings.
The other option is Haliburton, who would take needed pressure for the 6’1 Young at point and leading the offense. The Cyclone guard is big enough to defend bigger guards and can play off-ball as well. Either one would make great sense at No. 6.

No.
Too far to move down.
Uses up too much of our capspace on a guy with a 1 year deal to move down valuable spots.
The draft may be 'lateral' but there are still tiers to the prospects. The Hawks are said to have 7 players (minus Ball, Edwards and Wiseman) on their draft board for the #6 pick.NYG wrote:jayu70 wrote:NYG wrote:Would Atlanta consider Hayward and 14 for 6?

Yeah I get it and Hayward has his risks. My only counter is that this is a pretty lateral draft after the top 3-4 picks and there isn't many Hayward types in free agency.
