He made an interesting point about C. Paul to Atlanta for Collins as a way to save money for the Hawks. The Hawks would want something other than the privilege of paying Chris Paul to go away, but Phoenix can't offer a pick. I wonder if you can tie that in with Ayton to Dallas and find ways to satisfy everyone's wishes.That is really interesting. Phx gets Collins who can be in their finishing group. Hardaway is a good depth piece who will get a lot of good looks. With just the MLE would the prioritize point or center? That would be the big question if it would be enough for PHX.
I'm not sure how to count CP's salary, but I wonder if there is a world in which Maxi/Paul/#10 ends up on the Hawks, Ayton and #15 end up in Dallas and Collins and THJ end up in Phoenix.
I actually like that for Dallas. Fits the bill for a win now move. One with serious questions though, but also allows them to keep a pick to add another young player.
