Toronto is not interested in taking back any more salary than necessary would be my guess-timation as to NOT wanting to take on THJ/Capela
AS it stands Toronto is ~ $3.3 million under the TAX; Atlanta is ~ $8.2 million under and Dallas sits at $4.659 under the tax.
So Atlanta will have to absorb THJ to make this version work. Between THJ and Siakim that amounts to $55.8 million requiring ATL to send out $47.65 mil. Hunter to Toronto is $20.09 and Capela to Dallas is $20.6 million respectively.
Dallas trades McGee to Toronto (this will cost) and THJ to Atlanta for a shade over $23.6 mil outgoing salary. This leaves Dallas the ability to take back around $28.3 million and stay under the TAX. $20 mil of that is Capela.
Toronto trades Siakim at $37.9 million and takes back Hunter ($20.1) and McGee ($5.7); as compensation Toronto receives: Sacramento's 1st in '24, '25, or '26 OR the Kings' 2nd rd picks in '26 and '27 (whenever that pick conveys); Dallas' lottery protected '27 1st OR the rights to a Draft pick swap in '28 (top 6 exempt); Atlanta's '29 1st rd pick unprotected.
Atlanta is still about $6.9 million short of outgoing salary from being under the TAX on the trade and Dallas is able to accommodate that salary without breaking into the TAX on their end: That is most easily met by sending Saddiq Bey and Bruno Fernando ($4.557 and $2.582 mil resp) to Dallas. Toronto might request Bey, and that should probably lead to significantly increased protection on the Dallas pick/pick swap...
