The more I think about this Tor-Atl-Dal deal and connect the dots and read the tea leaves, I have to wonder if it is Tor asking for Green to be included in the deal and Nico won’t budge on that inclusion. The report was that Tor wants players not picks for Siakam. Hunter, Bey and Green (maybe they were also even asking for Hardy) is a group of guys that can grow with Barnes. If they’re sending us OG to go with Capela, I’m down with letting both go (maybe even the 27 too), but I’m not willing to let go of either of those two for just Capela as I think they are worth more than what I believe that pick will turn out to be.
KL was talking about wanting teams to value the 27 as if Luka is gone and we’re a bottom feeder in the league. I agree wholeheartedly with that sentiment, that still doesn’t make me, myself value it the way the other team does. I know if Nico can replicate this offseason 2-3 more times before the 27 offseason, Luka will be happy with the team and we will be a top team in the league. Just don’t suffer too big a setback and be ready for some of the deals to not pan out the way they are hoped to (including the possibility of 1 or 2 of these guys acquired this offseason with Green/Hardy not panning out).
