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).
Question is how they manage their roles. Based on last season Capela was slowly losing minutes and ultimately lost his spot in the closing five. But if this trend continues and Okongwu replaces him in the starting five Capela's value is going to tank even more.
A very Mavs-like situation. How to balance the declining trade value of a vet vs minutes for a younger player that took/should be taking his spot.
