Working with the premise on Capela/ATL deal:
1- Capela makes too much to be a backup and acquiring team must view him as a clear starter
2- Acquiring team must be able to take on a few million net in this trade (both other teams want less $ back)
3- Acquiring team must send out a non-center contract (Toronto doesn’t want a big)
All these teams have better situations and make no sense: BOS, MIL, PHI, CLE, BKN, TOR, MIA, CHI, iND, ORL, DET, DEN, SAC, MIN, OKC, UTA
WAS and POR entering rebuild and stripping it down. CHA has big problems next offseason with the QO guys. LAL doesn’t have the matching piece or ability to take on more. MEM and GSW have already made moves and would have a hard time pulling this off. LAC is focused on Harden. NOP and PHX are in a bad place financially and can’t make it happen
HOU - past ties
SAS - they want Wemby at the 4
NYK - maybe they see this as an upgrade?
DAL
That’s about it. You’ve got to think his agent is trying to get him to Dallas. It makes far more sense for him than any situation in the league
