List of current centers that make sense for Mavs team:
1. Capela. They might prefer Okongwu going forward. He is not worth a #10 pick but the difference between #10 and their #15 is not that big to incentivize them to take back a bad contract like Bertans or McGee. I mean, I would immediately do Bullock+McGee+#10 for Capela and #15, but I doubt they would. Would you throw in Hardy?
2. Rob Williams. A bit undersized and injured a lot. I doubt we have anything that would interest Boston
3. Claxton. Could be a target but is he really worth a #10 pick?
4. Stewart - not worth #10 pick, unless Mavs take back some protected future picks. Still, I would prefer the upside of the #10 pick.
5. Turner - how long of a rebuild is Indy planning? I doubt he would be available, but #10 for him seems like a good trade for both sides, if they are considering moving him.
6. Ayton. I can't see how a move for him could be done
7. Gafford. Nothing special. But would you consider something like Bullock, Green and #10 for Gafford and #8? Mavs would severly lack wings and that number #8 better becomes near star.
I like your thoughts.
I think I’d pull the trigger on Claxton for #10. Only 23. Can protect the paint. Can finish lobs. Still leaves you assets for another upgrade (starting 4).
Capela is a fallback but definitely not trading #10 for him.
