Trade & FA 2023-24: Stein-Ingram Trade Inevitable| LAL Want Lebron Back On Any Terms

I wouldn't be shocked if the Mavs end up giving Hardy for Capela. It would make sense of all the guard related rumors (players that look redundant to us). I think Green is off-limits.

I would be, especially since THJ has to be involved. 

The guy ATL wanted on draft night was Green. The guy who's up for a new contract next year is Green. Even if we assume Cuban is NOT motivated by setting the roster up to avoid future tax (I can't assume that at all, but for this conversation, let's), then Green's impending free agency means he's less cost controlled than Hardy. That makes him a more desirable piece to move from the Mavs' POV if they've decided they MUST move one of them to get what they want.

I agree with you that he SHOULD be fairly close to "off-limits." I certainly won't be a proponent of him being moved for Capela, if that's what happens. Hardy, either, for that matter. Either scenario would be lunacy.
