I wouldn’t do it if I were them but they’d be getting their PG, a 2017 top 6 pick, a near surefire lotto pick in Sac, and a potential lotto pick in Memphis. The real problem for me is the #1 protection on the Sac pick. That would be enough to scare me off if I’m the Hawks but it’s still only a 10-14% chance if they finish as a bottom 5 team.Man, I hate that deal for the Hawks, There is just a whole lot of not much there. Sure it makes Atlanta better in 2022 most likely, but this is a star driven league, and a very low chance any of those guys are ever a star in the league. Honestly good chance that Rozier is the best player in that package, and I still think he's a better fit as a 6th man.
The logic for the trade is you start building around Collins, Rozier, and Isaac knowing you’ll stink in 2019. Then, in 2019 you have your own high lotto pick, another likely high lotto pick in Sac, and a potential late lotto pick in Memphis along with cap space to sign a max guy.
Really is too bad that Ainge couldn’t get Colangelo to drop the #1 protection. But since he couldn’t, he really can’t deal the pick and get full value until May 2019.
