Atlanta and Charlotte, league sources say, have engaged in on-and-off trade discussions at various points this month on trade frameworks that would feature the Hornets' Dorian Finney-Smith and the Hawks' Buddy Hield. One version of a proposed trade, league sources say, could have included former lottery pick Devin Carter, but the Hawks elected to waive Carter on Sept. 11, setting up the former Providence star to sign with Boston.

Keith Smith: Devin Carter's deal with the Boston Celtics is an Exhibit 10 contract, a league source told @spotrac . If Carter earns a regular season spot, deal becomes a standard non-guaranteed contract. It can also be converted to a two-way deal. Or Carter can get a bonus for joining Maine.

Q: Ira, wouldn’t it be such a Heat move to sign Devin Carter off waivers? – Robin. Ira Winderman: Yes, it would, considering how the Heat have long brought in sons of those who have been with the organization or those whose parents have had ties with the organization. The Heat have both the salary-cap and roster-space wherewithal to make a move for the son of former Heat guard and assistant coach Anthony Carter. The question is why have both the Kings and Hawks both given up on Devin, the No. 13 pick in the 2024 draft who is only 24? That is where the background on those shoulder, ankle, calf and back injuries will come into play. Devin certainly stood as enticing in the 2024 draft coming out of Providence.

databallr: Devin Carter is a member of the often underrated “possession maxxer that can’t shoot” mold. High orb rate, high steal + charge rate. It’s not really intuitive just how much of an impact floor those attributes can give a player. EPM and Darko both have him near neutral, predicting he’s ~4% better than the ghastly 50% TS he put up last year. However, I assume the Hawks have a mountain of internal shooting data on him which gives them an edge in predicting just how poor his efficiency will look going forward. In any case, I think he’s worth picking up.

Jake Fischer: The Boston Celtics have shown interest in signing Devin Carter, sources say, once the Providence product clears waivers.

Brad Rowland: The Hawks officially waived Devin Carter. Atlanta has a well-documented roster crunch and still has 16 for 15 spots even after waiving Carter. In June, the Hawks received a 2033 second round pick from SAC to take Carter’s ~$5.1M contract. ATL also waived Lamont Butler today.

Third Apron: The Hawks will incur a $5.2 million dead cap hit for this season and decline his $7.4 million team option for next season. Devin Carter can sign with any team except the Kings. He still has two years of two-way eligibility remaining.
