Hawks get bigger & spend big, Memphis starts the reset, Brooklyn use their cap space to get a 2nd

Atlanta have found success this season with their bigger lineup, hence the recent move to trade Trae Young.

However with Onyeka Okongwu being an undersized 5, and his increased aptitude to space the floor could Atlanta field an ultra big, switchable, younger, shooting starting 5?

Daniels (A bad 3 point shooter, but has every other attribute) Alexander-Walker Johnson Okongwu and enter....... Jaren Jackson Jr

Given his age, long term contract, ability to seamlessly switch defensively and crucially a good injury history (which Porzingis doesn't have) the Hawks will likely have to part with significant draft capital and young talented players to make this deal appealing to the Grizzlies. Therefore putting Risacher and Newell on the table, alongside good draft captial gives the opportunity for the Grizzlies to reset their roster, building around a young core of Wells, Coward, Edey, Rishacher, Newell. Jock Landale has had a great season so far for Memphis, giving the Hawks good defensive backup big minutes and GG Jackson gets a fresh start after faltering minutes in Memphis.

The Nets use this opportunity to take on Kennard's expiring deal, giving the Hawks the longer, better defensive Haywood Highsmith in order to acquire a 2nd rounder.
