I don't know.
I definitely see the concerns about Capela falling off and 2027 being a lot. But at the same time it's hard to imagine a better fitting center next to Luka for next season for the cost and that is actually available. We'd also be getting off of McGee's deal too, which in and of itself is worth roughly ~2 2nd rounders in terms of cost.
In terms of money, THJ almost has to be going to TOR because ATL doesn't have any other contracts that can match THJ's money right now. Bogdan can only be aggregated in September. So with that, Mavs are getting off of 24 mil and are getting back 20.6. TOR is getting off of 38 mil and is getting back either 43 mil (Hunter+Bey+THJ). ATL is getting off of 45.2 mil and is getting back 43.6 mil (Pascal+McGee).
If anything, the only other additions that make sense would be on the small scale. Who fits that? In order to avoid sending a first, are the Mavs inclined to eat OPJr and/or Thad Young? Do the Hawks instead eat OPJ to avoid having to send multiple firsts for a guy like Siakam on an expiring deal?
To try and make sending a first easier on the Mavs, can ATL tip the Mavs a guy like AJ Griffin? Griffin's salary fits perfectly into the rest of the Mavs TPE and he fits the youth movement and fills a needed position.
Putting it together:
TOR: Hunter+Bey+THJ+1st from ATL+2027 from DAL+2nds
ATL: Siakam+McGee+OPJ
DAL: Capela+Griffin
This deal keeps the Mavs roughly exactly where they are in terms of roster salary, only increasing it slightly by 700k...
Does this make sending 2027 more palatable?
Luka/Curry
Kyrie/Hardy/Exum
Green/Griffin
Williams/Maxi/Omax
Capela/Lively/Holmes/Powell
