Pure salary dump for Atlanta100%
This is Washington realizing that 1) No sense not spending money on someone and they have 60 million in expiring deals 2) It's better to develop young kids in an atmosphere where you might make the playins rather than being a 15 win team every year and ruining them
For Atlanta, it's just about clearing the contract and moving on. They'll sell Tingus and Kennard at the deadline now and probably get bad for a bit.
They can't let their FRP fall lower than #8, and Trae IS opting in next year.

Jak + IQ for AD is not cheap. I would rather go after Ja Morant for IQ and stuff.
