Atlanta extended Daniels after an MIP season and All-Defensive nod, leveraging elite steal rates and multi-positional coverage. The deal anchors a core with Trae Young, Jalen Johnson, and Zaccharie Risacher for a two-way rebuild.

Cap planning anticipates incremental luxury-tax pressure offset by internal development and targeted vet minimum shooting.
