Well, for the second year in a row, the Atlanta Hawks have made a trade prior to the NBA Draft. Atlanta traded away Dwight Howard and the #31 draft pick and received Miles Plumlee, Marco Belinelli, the #41 draft pick, and (probably, explained below) a traded player exception worth $4,346,942 that expires on 2018-06-20 unless Atlanta renounces it prior to then because the traded player exception takes up cap space.
Let’s take another look at Atlanta’s cap sheet, discuss trade ramifications and restrictions, detail potential moves around the draft, and talk about the stretch provision.
