Dane Moore: The Wolves are "likely" using the trade exception in this trade, source says. Lots of pieces still moving. Dane Moore: The Wolves have a $7.58M trade exception from the Nickeil Alexander-Walker sign-and-trade this summer, and Ayo Dosunmu makes $7.52M. Checking now to see if that is what was used to acquire Dosunmu -- as it would allow the Wolves to not need to send any salary back to Chicago.

Roland Beech: Post Trae Young, what are the Hawks? Over a 6-game sample of recent games... • 7 players with 85+ RHP is decent • Inconsistent Playing Hard/Physicality • Solid core: Johnson / Daniels / Alexander-Walker players to believe in, but still 'works in progress'

The Hawks, according to conversations with rival executives, agents and former players, are unsure of the long-term prospects of Onyeka Okongwu and Mo Gueye at center from a contention standpoint. Atlanta is an average defensive team (16th in defensive rating, per Cleaning the Glass), but a core featuring Dyson Daniels, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Johnson and Davis has enough versatility and optionality to rewrite a narrative that would have been otherwise impossible with Young as the centerpiece.
