Atlanta Receives: 4th pick, Tyson Chandler, and T.J. Warren

Phoenix Receives: Paul Millsap

Atlanta: Things for the Hawks have to change after this same squad got trampled again in the playoffs. You could view this trade as the first step of a rebuild or you could actually make a play to improve the team on the short-term.

Atlanta would plug Tyson Chandler in at center and then make the pitch to Al Horford to come back on a max deal to play power forward, his original position. Then Atlanta can go different directions with the fourth pick. From Jaylen Brown to Jamal Murray, they could grab a young stud to help build around.

Phoenix: The Suns would make their big splash to finally push them back into the playoffs hopefully. A lineup of Brandon Knight, Eric Bledsoe, Devin Booker, Paul Millsap, and Alex Len would definitely make some noise in the Western Conference.

Phoenix would also still possess two other first round picks where they could draft to their needs.
