New York - Atlanta

[Godaddycurse]

Assumption: IH gets stolen in FA

New York trade: Bogdanovic, 2025 top 12 protected swap (ATL gets to swap worse of SAC/ATL 1st w/ best of DET/MIL/NYK 1st)
Atlanta trade Capela

Why for NYK: get a stopgap C to provide insurance for Robinson
Why for Atlanta: moves on from capela for some asset (assume they draft sarr)

That swap has a really good chance of being nothing. Detroit is picking in the top 12 and it seems likely the Bucks and Knicks have the best records of the other 4.

Can't see what this does for Atlanta really. For the Knicks its essentially a one year FA signing of a center knowing they can't count on Robinson and aren't going to pay Bojan.

yea i dont think capela have alot of positive value left with his decline and upcoming salary, could change the swaps into 2 seconds i suppose

I don't think he has much value either, but this requires Atlanta to take back Bojan's money and I don't think that's interesting to them with no other incentive.

Not sure why Knicks are trading for a Center?
Knicks can offer iHart up to 4/72. I really doubt they lose him.

because other teams can offer more (looking at OKC)

Being willing to offer more and actually offering more are two different things.

I can see OKC doing something similar to the deal Bruce Brown signed with Indiana this year - his 4 year value over 2 years with the 2nd year being a player option. As good as Hartenstein has been, I don't see him as good value once the contract gets into the $18-20MM plus range.
