Scary, I know.
Hopefully, the same “we’ll take Capela” opportunity will exist if ATL pivots back to Minnesota.
I actually think KAT's salary will be such a ballast that he'll go for a lot cheaper than we all are assuming. Like maaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe a single first kind of cheap. Even at that price I'd rather the Mavs steer clear. KAT's attitude is such a loser mentality I couldn't stand him on the Mavs. Sure he's talented, but it'd be almost sacrilegious to bring the guy that automatically thinks he's the best big man shooter of all time when he's won 3 playoff games in his entire 8 year career (*on 33% 3pt shooting!)
I think the Capela angle works for both deals thankfully as the money for Siakam and KAT are pretty similar.
