Why would atl do that? Why would Philly do that? Why would kanter or van fleet do that?

This draft is as loaded as people arr saying then trading down seven spots so they can get an extra pick won't be so bad. Kanter wan5s money but security as well. With a MLE contract he will get about as much over several years. OKC can promise VanFleet a 6th or 7th man role on a winning team. Atlanta is in full rebuild mode. Getting rid of Bazemores contract and buying out Melo would give them enough space to rebuild on free agency.

Philly has 4 picks in the 2nd round and 2 in the 1st. They may not have enough spots for the guys they draft as is. They're far more likely to try and trade up than down.

And like Football father said, why would Kanter opt out for a 1 year deal making over 10 million less? Also, Toronto would probably give Van Fleet more than that. I imagine he'll at least get around the MLE.

I don't see Atlanta being willing to give up assets to get off a contract. They're in year 2 of a rebuild. It's not like they're a viable option for any big time free agents anytime soon and they have 30ish million to spend already.
