I didn't know where to post this, and didn't really think it needed a new thread, so here goes...
Someone here posted a link to ClutchFans re: Doncic, and I got interested in a related thread that was made back when we swapped picks with ATL for him. The content of the thread quickly pushed past us drafting Doncic (who they all seemed to think would be good) and to us sniping Capela from them in RFA. I was thinking - how different are things now if we signed Capela instead of DJ? NY was VERY motivated to offload those contracts and were not attached to DJ in that trade. They wouldn't have wanted Capela back in the deal. Assuming we could have made the filler (perhaps Powell?) and still made the trade work, would we be sitting here with Luka/KP/Capela?
Second thought... if a current trade proposal with SAC were on the table: HB for Curry/Wright/JJax, who says no? Barnes is shooting 50/40 FG/3pt on the season. He was traded to free up space in FA. Knowing what we do now about the outcome of FA, and this thread's desire to add a legit starter, I am curious if anyone would make this referendum trade, or if it would still be supported.
I would still probably seek to trade him for OPJ - especially given our depth chart if this were our only move. I would still think that adding Wright to the starting lineup would benefit the team. If we could upgrade DFS with OPJ, you could start Wright. Or imagine the Jumbo lineup of Luka/OPJ/DFS/Powell/KP. That would get us to matchup pretty well with LAL/LAC/PHI size. Replace Powell with TT and that is legit size - championship quality size. Could switch a LOT on D.
