But what at all is the sense of parting with a high end D prospect, when the Hawks' D core is so bad right now, and they'll need as many of them to not bust as possible? There is no reason to get another first rounder this year at the loss of a D prospect, because you're just needlessly kicking the can further down the road.
Outside of that, this trade doesn't happen. The rub isn't that you aren't offering sufficient pieces to call the value good, its that no team is going to trade their first found pick either at the draft in a very public manner, or before it when they'd have to answer for it to their fan base (and this package doesn't make their fans happy).
