You can always count on (most) trade proposals to give more consideration to one team than the other(s) - usually the favorite team of the proposer. The parameters are then bolstered with optimistic player assessments and team "needs".
I will address this proposal as a Hawks fan -
1. Retaining 50% of Ullmark: while $2.5M x 2 years is manageable, using 1 of the Hawks 2 remaining retentions limits other/better deals they could make over the next couple years. The price would have to be substantial enough to make it worth it.
2. JAD: don't need him, don't want him. The Hawks have a bunch of "JAD's" on their roster already.
3. 2025 2nd and 2024 4th: The Hawks have made 11 picks in both of the last 2 drafts, including (5) 1st's and (6) 2nd's. They already have (4) 1st's and (5) 2nd's in the next 2 drafts. At this point the Hawks are looking for quality draft picks - not quantity of more picks.
Summary: the compensation is not enough to make the deal.
