Trade #10, Josh Green and (I assume) THJ for #15 and Capela.
Are there REALLY people here who would’ve preferred that path? That’s what was out there.
If, big if, the draft unfold the same way, you'd have to like one of the following:
15. Hawks draft Kobe Bufkin (Michigan)
16. Jazz draft Keyonte George (Baylor)
17. Lakers draft Jalen Hood-Schifino (Indiana)
18. Heat draft Jaime Jaquez Jr. (UCLA)
19. Warriors draft Brandin Podziemski (Santa Clara)
20. Rockets draft Cam Whitmore (Villanova)
21. Nets draft Noah Clowney (Alabama)
22. Nets draft Dariq Whitehead (Duke)
23. Blazers draft Kris Murray (Iowa)
Assuming we still got O'Max at 24, I'd probably be fine with that trade. I'm not the biggest Capela fan but he's miles ahead of any other big we have. I don't really like Josh though. Let's do a hypothetical of what would you rather have?: Capela, Whitmore, O'Max, Holmes vs Josh, Lively, O'Max, Holmes.
