It seems to me that for some of you all to view it as viable to use it simply to upgrade from Holmes to Capela (even for the additional benefit of getting out of Joel's contract) indicates to me that you think that Holmes is really, really awful, verging on being as unplayable as McGee. I don't buy that. The Holmes of two years ago is not much worse a player than Clint. If such a trade does happen, I will assume the Mavs worked out Holmes and found him to be profoundly washed. But for the '27 FRP to be included in a Capela trade, we have to be getting back another rotation player as well, from where I sit.Since we’re going back in time, the Capela of 2 years ago was significantly better than the Holmes of 2 years ago. If Capela has lost an irredeemable step as some claim, Holmes being older has as well, no?
If this is it and there is no Capela trade, I’ll hope like hell that Holmes can be close to that guy from 2 years ago (who I wanted here). If both have lost a step, Capela had much higher to fall from. I don’t think either at 29 years old has lost a step in all honesty, but Capela is hands down the better player and it’s not that close.
