This is a rumor.  We should remain calm until it happens.

If this were to happen, the Cap impact would set us at about $154 million with 5 players to sign. One reminder, we own the rights to D.Wright, Knox, Cooper, Mays and would not have to follow cap rules to resign them. But because Gallo was not waived it would take us completely out of the Ayton conversation due to BYC.

KD + Murray to Hawks? We're winning a chip in the next 2 years if tru

It does not.  You can still move Bogi and JC in another move to clear the space.

Trae is very selective with what he posts and likes on Twitter, so seeing smoke to this KD thing is wild.

Build a statue for Travis if we can get Murray + KD while keeping one of Hunter/Oneyka

Zach Klein is on the same trust level as Woj and Shams when it comes to stuff like this.. I’m already celebrating.

We are going to be good friends I see.

Spurs want to tank for Whattaburger the French kid for next year's draft. So if they can just stockpile picks and go in with a tanking roster (like they did with Duncan) then moving Murray makes a hell of a lot of sense.

Trae/Murray/hunter/jc/cap.   that's what i want.

No offense to the Insiders on this board, but Zach is the source for ATL sports. I trust him more than Woj or Shams

This is setting up to be the biggest blue ball off season of recent memory lol...

audible sigh.  Okay so lets pretend we only use minimum level deals in your scenario to fill out the roster.  Average 2 million per min deal.  Clint, JC, Bogi out, Ayton in would mean we'd need to fill 7 slots with min deals.  That's $14 million.  Add Ayton's 30 million. Subtract JC, Clint, Bogi (61 mil). Assuming no salary came back dumping JC and Bogi...yes, technically yes you could fit in Ayton.

 

Now lets get real.  The money to fit in Ayton was the waiving of Gallo money so without a salary dump of at least $15 million, it isn't possible and you can only get bare basement signings.  Translation....you're out on Ayton.
