I'd give them whatever pick swap they want in 2028 though. Is Dort that much better of a player than Grant Williams? I peg his value right around there. THJ is magnitudes more valuable than Bullock. Perhaps no picks need to be added besides 2nds. 

THJ+McGee+2 2nds for Dort+and whatever garbage they want waived.

Disagree on saving the first for a center.  We just spent a first on a center.  I want to see what we have in Lively before I spend our remaining assets on another center.

Mavs receive: Grant Williams, Clint Capela.
Hawks receive: Pascal Siakam.
Raptors receive: DeAndre Hunter, Tim Hardaway Jr., two first-round picks (from Hawks) and two second-round picks (from Mavs, rerouted from the original three-team sign-and-trade).
Spurs receive: Reggie Bullock, 2030 pick swap (from Mavs).
Celtics receive: two second-round picks, trade exception.

I would do this.

Not sure we should be so sure that Hardy is ready to step into THJ’s shoes right away, but it’s deal you can’t pass up. Capela remains underrated, defensively, and this is a good buy low point in time for him, I think.

(07-10-2023, 12:36 PM)Smitty Wrote: Turning Reggie and Timmy into Williams and Capela for a ‘30 pick swap would be right up there with the draft day work Nico did.

Basically 2 whatever role guys (1 who didn't even contribute to the WCF run) and the other who fell off a cliff and turning them into 2 bonafide rotation starters and it only cost a swap is the stuff of legends.

Hopefully it plays out.

Skyline Report (ATL news & rumors) (@Dc3daM)
@sancho12369 From what I’ve been told:
Hawks get Pascal Siakam, Javale McGee
Mavericks get Clint Capela
Raptors get De’Andre Hunter Saddiq Bey, 1st round pick



Take this with a grain of salt cause I have no clue who this guy is but since Mr. Dropping Dimes has said ATL, it's probably going to be Atlanta. And this looks reasonable for all parties, probably more 1sts need to be included by ATL if anything but Siakam is expiring so it's a trade off.

Later in that thread it says “Dallas would send something to Toronto, too.”

Gotta be THJ, right? I don’t fully understand the math, but it seems like just a 3-way deal. Not an extension of the Boston/SA thing.

Yeah, I think you’re right.

I bet TOR wants multiple firsts for Siakim and sending Capela to Dallas is ATL’s way of subsidizing that.

I LOVE Capela. Not a fan of spending ‘27 in this way.

(07-10-2023, 12:56 PM)SleepingHero Wrote: I find it a bit dubious the Mavs would be willing to send a 2027 FRP for Capela given that they were very hesitant to do any 10 for 15+Capela swap on draft night (although ATL was asking for a lot more to be fair).

(07-10-2023, 01:01 PM)KillerLeft Wrote: I hope you’re right, but the rumor of that draft night deal is that it included Green too.

If there’s only one pick involved, it’s got to be coming from ATL. If there are 2-3, Dallas’ ‘27 might be involved.

I personally want Capela, but don’t value getting off of McGee in the process THAT much.I’d throw those 2nds in without hesitation though.
