Vertical Sources: Houston has started contacting teams about trading Dwight Howard.

Burks ranks with Burke, Neto, and Booker in shooting efficiency. Hood is an elevation above them, approaching Hayward's tier.
Burke, Burks, Neto, Booker have little trade value. At this point I would rank them:
Booker
Burke
Burks

Burks and Hood are remarkably similar statistically. The biggest differences are that Hood attempts more threes, something that Burks should do, and Burks gets to the line more.

Also, the NBA is extremely generous in assists. Burks gets a lot of his assists by making a simple swing pass. Hood creates real assists.
Watch the assists on nba.com/stats. They're giving assists to players who throw an entry pass to a high post who holds the ball for 3 seconds and then takes a shot. That's the type Burks gets.

yeah we have so many players on the team who get the ball in the high post, post up, and score after a 3 second wait.
Burks sucks, right?Basic statistics maybe. Hood crushes Burks in TS% (the most important offensive metric IMO. Jordan, LeBron, Durant, Curry lead that ****).
Burks is down a notch below the Monta Ellis type offensive efficiency, but he can't score in volume like players of that caliber. If he defended he would make up for it, but he doesn't.
Plus Hood is early and on the rise. Bring this up in two years when it's relevant.
If they're really sellers at the deadline, the price tag will come down. That's why nothing happens until minutes before the deadline.“From everything I’ve been told in the last two or three days, Atlanta’s requests for both Al Horford and Jeff Teague have been borderline ridiculous,” explained Mannix. “The kind of things teams like Boston, or Milwaukee, or Denver simply won’t deal for the players they want.

DL is going to use our cap space to get more future 2nd round picks, which he'll then sell for cash getting pennies on the dollar.
