Would this trade make sense for the Atlanta Hawks?
The Cleveland Cavaliers would be getting the best player at the moment in this deal and that is a benefit if they want to hang onto Sexton. This is a duo to build around along with another duo in the frontcourt. Markkanen might be thrown into the deal but there are others to rely on.
Evan Mobley fell into the lap of the Cavaliers in the draft and Jarrett Allen signed a five-year deal in free agency. Cleveland is set down low and this is why Markkanen, and eventually Kevin Love, could be moved.
Okoro would be the major piece to part ways with as he has high expectations this season. When looking at the return, Ingram is a valuable piece for a team that could use another scorer to take some pressure off Sexton.
Cleveland would be able to use their options in many ways and there would be some depth in the rotation.
