Hawks trade for Jeremy Lin

[Vermont Green]

It's a good set of trades for Brooklyn. They take on a net $8.5m in salary but gain a first and a 2nd. Best they could've done with the cap space and they maintain their flex next summer.

Sean Marks already proving to be one of the better GMs in the league

I don't think Brooklyn is absorbing any salary.  Are you reference another trade?  Rather they are dumping $12.5M.  This may be part of a scheme to sign Marcus Smart.

Atlanta is sending Brooklyn a 2020 second-round pick via Portland and the rights to Isaia Cordinier, league sources said. Cordinier is a 2016 second-round pick who has remained overseas.

The Nets will send the Hawks a 2025 second-round pick and the right to swap second-round picks in 2023, league sources said.

The Hawks will absorb Lin's $12.5 million expiring contract into their salary-cap space. Lin, 29, suffered a season-ending ruptured patellar tendon on opening night last year. He averaged 14.5 points and 5.1 assists per game in 2016-17 for the Nets.

They moved Lin so they could make the trade with Denver.

Yes, OK, I am catching up.

If they waive Faried, I would be interested in him on a Vet Min deal.

Interesting.

I wonder what this means for Schroeder. I would think he is out the door now with Lin and Young on the roster.

supposedly when he was in Europe he mentioned being open to a trade to Milwaukee or Indiana, which seem like fairly random teams to mention without there have at least being discussions.  But yeah he is almost certainly going to be traded and that was before Lin was acquired.

Suggests the Hawks may be looking for a PF. Either Young as an expiring or perhaps Parker in a s&t?

What team needs an inefficient ball dominant point guard who is not really such a fun guy to have in the locker room?

Orlando?

When will BRK learn?

BKN gave the Hawks the right to swap picks in 2023....

Nets trade Jeremy Lin, a 2025 second-round pick, and a second-round pick swap right in 2023 to the Hawks in exchange for a top-55 protected 2020 second-round pick (via Blazers) and the draft rights to 2016 second-round pick Isaia Cordinier.

Yep and this seems mostly about just clearing his salary to the Nuggets trade where the Nets get a 1st round pick.

Perhaps the Hawks wanted to bring in a good mentor for Young.

I was not aware of the nuggets trade. I take it back, good move for the Nets.

Unbelievable

I thought Woj meant 2023 2nds by these tweets:

Nets and Hawks will also exchange future second-round picks in the deal, league sources tell ESPN.

In the Jeremy Lin deal, Atlanta sends the Nets the rights to 2016 second-round pick Isaia Cordinier (you'll probably never see him). Atlanta gets a 2025 second-round pick and the right to swap picks with Nets in 2023.

I'm almost certain he did, one year of Jeremy Lin's contract isn't worth an unprotected pick swap

I see. I read it independently at first for some reason.

[JSD]

Yep. Nets making some solid moves here after all
