The random Hawks "insider' who said the Siakam deal would happen at 4:00pm Monday now has a new prediction and it's Capela going straight to Toronto and Masai deals him to Dallas in his own time.
While that's not unheard of after what happened with Dragic, and it'd be just like Masai to try and wrangle an inflated Capela price from what he assumes is a desperate Dallas, what in the world is that sort of logic? Does Masai (or this "insider") truly think Capela's agent will be okay with his guy playing backup to Poeltl? Is TOR going to go above the 2nd apron just so they can try and swindle supposedly one of Dallas' young guys?
How many teams need to blackball Masai before he gets fired?
Are we sure the trade target would be Capela if we are waiting to make the deal later? The Holmes/Poeltl math is pretty convenient.
