All sorts of things open up if this is a bigger deal with Toronto or Brooklyn. Maybe Toronto gets 10 and 15 as part of a deal for Siakam and the “something more” from Atlanta is 13 instead of 15.
Maybe Johnson is too much for Atlanta to give with 15, but they are also doing a Collins deal with Brooklyn that moves 15 for 21. Would you rather have 15 or 21/Johnson? I’d take Johnson and the lower pick.
I am not giving up 15. I think the Mavs will trade down but not out absent getting a star and there doesn't appear to be any opportunities for that.
To me the framework of the deal should be 10 + something for 15 and Capela. Bertans would be ideal since he doesn't have a role on the team. If THJ had to be included then I would want Johnson or Bey back.
I don't know enough about Johnson to know his value to know if its worth trading back from 15 to 21. To me 15 or 16 is still a pretty safe area to draft as there are a bunch of players 10-16 that are roughly on the same tier. I have been wanting to figure out how to get a starter like Capela without giving up any rotation players and only doing a trade-back.
