Hawthorn are in productive talks with Gold Coast for Aidan Schubert who has agreed to join the Suns on a five-year deal.
The Hawks are waiting for the Suns to confirm whether they will let Ben King cross to them as a restricted free agent.
The Schubert deal will have to stand along from King’s move as a free agent.
This would earn the Suns pick number seven in the national draft and would give them a valuable bargaining chip for any pursuit of Nick Blakey.
The Hawks are keen on luring North’s defender Josh Goater, but this negotiation will be left until next week according to industry sources.
