Atlanta sends-Capela (exp),Hunter, Bogdanavic, Okungwu,2nd Rd pick


Portland sends Ayton,Grant, Brogdan (exp)

Gives Atlanta a bigger front line move Brogdan after trade to save on cap space draft Sarr 1st overall. Ayton would work better with the pick & roll with Trae, Murray,Grant, Johnson, Ayton.

Gets Portland out of the tax with smaller contracts to move so they can rebuild around their young talented backcourt faster. I think Hunter & Okungwu would work well with Portland guards the pick & roll that Trae runs does not work well for them.

Absurd trade for Portland could get far better offers for grant and ayton.

For instance if Portland willing to trade Ayton and grant kings would give up huerter, Barnes, Mitchell, Lyles, vezenkov and this years 1 st round pick.

@Hyena 1 I hear you but I don't think Portland makes that type of trade with Sacramento. The Only real value from Sacramento is Sabonis & Fox which I know they aren't moving for Grant & Ayton also this moves puts Sacramento in the heavy tax apron. Secondly it returns Portland 2 guards to a guard heavy team with Scoot Henderson, Afernee Simons, Matisse Thybulle, Malcolm Brogdan. They have no room for 2 more guards. Harrison Barnes does not help them. Hunter & Okungwu would mesh well with their young backcourt. It's only a few teams willing & able to take on 60 million from just 2 players.

To be fair kings should only offer the trade for grant not ayton but your offer regarding hawks offers nothing of any value to Portland. Barnes helps them if loses grant so how about Barnes huerter Lyles and a 1st for grant?

@Hyena1 I think you are overvaluing Grant. He is a 30 yr old 3rd or 4th scorer on a title contender with 4 yr/ 150 million contract owed. Portland will find it hard to move that contract. Rebuilding teams are not carrying a player that age with that type of money. It's maybe 3 teams that would & maybe 5 that could. Sacramento ain't taking on that type of salary for 5 pt bump at that position between Grant & Barnes. Portland will have to take back less than desirable names if they want rebuild that squad before their rookie back court get to their next cont.

I’m a kings fan and would do that trade immediately to get grant without having to give up Murray. Getting out of Barnes and huerter contract for grant would be an ideal fit for kings…. think this trade makes sense for both sides.
