They WANTED to trade him this summer, there's no doubt in my mind. They just didn't get the deal they wanted (great job not getting fleeced, Mavs).
For sure, I'm just saying I wonder if they were trying to do that because they assumed they'd have to pay Okongwu similarly to the 21 mil a year Capela is getting and if this team friendly deal changes things.
It may not at all and they may have had Okongwu penciled in at this contract the entire time they were shopping Capela but just feels like they got a discount on their future big man is all.
