Must Waive Players

Phoenix would have 17 standard contract players after the trade and would need to waive 2 players.

Financial

Suns are unable to complete this trade. Incoming player salary ($3.0M) is matched using multiple outgoing players. Since they are an over second apron team, they are not able to aggregate players in a trade. This means for example, that they cannot send out two players to acquire one with a similar salary to both.

Did the exact numbers this time

Literally no reason not to do it for every single team other than sentimentality

Pels: get a reliable star with roots in New Orleans. Get off money the year after also as an additional bonus

Spurs: give nothing from the young core n get KD

Suns: get younger n cheaper and have a new star duo.

Hawks: get ur picks back
