... because supposedly they are willing to sell.

Sources tell Adrian Wojnarowski that the Hawks are willing to sell their first-round pick for $3 million, to help pay for Johnson's salary.
For the same reason, Atlanta will likely offer no more than a three-year contract between $1.8 million to $2 million per season to a possible successor to head coach Mike Woodson.

Is it worth it? Is there anybody in the late first round that can make the roster next season and possibly contribute in a season or two?
