They need someone that can get their own offense outside of their system. Which is basically Tatum stays high and lobs shots. If he's off, Brown does it. lol. Collins could help but what the heck can the Celtics offer? So, it's either Barnes, Murray, or Celtics leftovers? Nice try Hawks. Also, this has to be part of a Barnes deal. I'm sure Ainge, or no Ainge, the C's still want Harrison.
I would assume the cap space they are trying to create is moving Tobias. I think the deal would be "take Tobias and we might consider Thuybulle and/or our pick to make it worth your while." Thuybulle was next to untouchable a year ago, so I can't imagine they are looking to offload him just to free up his limited salary.
But given how much they have loved Thuybulle in the past, I don't understand why they would trade HIM to free up $2.8M to get under the tax. Why not dump Niang ($3.3M) Jaden Springer ($2M) or Shake Milton ($1.8M)? Thuybulle has been (and presumably still is) worth much more to them than saving $2.8M in cap. Don't get me wrong; I'd do it in a hurry. But they just really value Thuybulle, so I can't imagine it is "trade Thuybulle for an expiring to get $2.8M in cap savings."
I'm sure they'd ask for something more than that, but they want Tucker and don't have many options value wise. Also, he may not be worth nearly as much to them since the Harden trade and Maxey's rise. Thybulle is kind of a like a new version of Roberson. Sometimes 5 and 3 just don't cut it and paying a premium for it depends on the team.

Per Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer, "the Sixers are looking to make a three-team trade that could involve Matisse Thybulle and the No. 23 pick to create space. Sources have said the Sixers are attempting to trade Tobias Harris, but they are having a tough time getting teams to take on his lucrative contract."
I think it would look something like this:
Sac Receives: Tobias Harris, Matisse Thybulle, and #23
Philly Receives: Barnes, Holiday, Len, Harkless

I'm not saying I am doing it. I am merely saying that this is the type of deal I think Philly has in mind- "we will give you Thybulle and our pick to take Harris, and matching salaries." I think there is less than zero chance the deal is "take Thybulle and our FRP, slot him into your trade exception, and give us nothing of value for the guy we have said was 'untradeable' less than a year ago."
Or a desperate Hawks team is conveniently letting a certain call leak that ended in an abrupt dial tone. haha. The dominoes are falling and they are falling right on top of the PF position when it comes to value across the league. If Pop traded Murray for Collins it would be the exact opposite of a rebuild, lol. Nothing about this makes any sense.
