While he would definitely make us better now, I am not sure the 27th first is worth it.The THJ angle of it i think is solved by Gary Trent jr. If Toronto made this move i think they would then move Trent in a trade for a point guard. Trent is Klutch and looking to get paid big. THJ is objectively a decent replacement compared to the commitment to Trent. Toronto would have plenty of wing depth to add and could create a nice package for someone.
Without the first, I think you need to do a lot of mental gymnastics to have Capella wind up here. Sure it is possible, but I don't think it is likely. It would take Atlanta to give up more assets than they want for Siakem, as Toronto wouldn't consider Capella or THJ as prime assets. It would also take Toronto thinking a 20 million a year center who is 30 is not valuable in the market and a 16-17 million shooting guard could help their team better or be a better asset. That may be a stretch. But we will see.
I saw Holmes (with a new haircut) is in Vegas. Hopefully we get a chance to work him out and get a better feel for his current talents. It would be tough for any scout to know what we have with him with his lack of playing time last year.
