Atlanta has a $25.3 million Traded Player Exception that will expire on July 7. That exception was created in the Dejounte Murray trade last offseason.

Because they are so far below the tax and the aprons, the Hawks are in good position to use that exception to take on money in a potential trade.

Sometimes I’m convinced this is just a bit.

Also your much more efficient offensively statement is just not true.

Amare TS%/TS+/USG during his prime:

.617/117/28.3
.637/118/25.8
.656/122/28.2
.617/113/24.2
.615/113/27.3

.606/113/26.2(Suns career)

Here’s Ayton:

.608/109/21.2
.568/101/23.7
.653/114/18.2
.656/116/21.4
.617/106/22.9

.622/109/22.3(Suns career)

Not to mention Ayton should be in his prime now and he’s getting worse:

.587/101/20.4(Portland Career)

Not only did Amare basically have the same peak in raw TS%, he did it in an era that was much less efficient and he did it on a much higher usage rate. I’m sorry, but there’s zero argument for Ayton offensively over Amare.

By the way, Amare made 4 All-NBA teams(1 1st, 3 2nd) and received MVP votes in 4 different years.

Based on your reasoning though, I’m shocked you aren’t the biggest Tyson Chandler fan…he was more efficient than both, a better rebounder than both, and a better defender than both. He should check all your boxes.

We don’t know what Ayton would have done with Nash.

But it’s not just about Ayton. I never liked Amare when he was here. And I was ecstatic when we got Tyson Chandler, it’s just too bad he was past his prime by the time we finally got him.

He had Chris Paul

Come on, you know there was never a Suns player who was better at getting his teammates easy looks and elevating players than Steve Nash.

Chris Paul took the Suns to the best season they ever had. Next.

Wouldn't be surprised to see the Suns target this:

I wish we had Simons instead of Green…the only thing Green does better is stay healthy it seems

This would seem to me like a signal that Boston's going to spend a season (at least) loading back up and retooling while Tatum is out. They must feel like they can't be a serious contender next year.

It wouldn't surprise me if Al Horford is also gone - he's a UFA and I would imagine that they'll let him walk, if he doesn't retire.

Ehhhh... I don't think Simons is anything special, both guys should have played in the NCAA. I'll take Green just on age alone.

There are a few underutilized players I’d love to poach from other teams - one that comes to mind is Jarace Walker.

I also saw someone propose a Grayson for Obi trade which I think could benefit both teams.

OKC apparently wants to package picks and move up. I'd be interested in Jaylin Williams, Kenrich Williams or even Aaron Wiggins to move back a bit.
