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

[mvossman]

Why is the convo Holmes vs Capela, as opposed to just Capela and what he can do for us?  I highly doubt ATL sees any value in Holmes, so it's not like we'd be trading them for each other.  IMO, Capela's worth doesn't get more than McGee, Holmes, and maybe THJ.  No way ATL moves him for that crap.  Absolutely no picks or kids.  IMO, the 27FRP has the value of then OMax now.  I'm not trading OMax for Capela.

This conversation was based on a trade involving Capela for Holmes.  Atlanta does it because they are saving 6 mil and getting a backup center plus whatever assets we are sending.

You clearly don't value Capela as others, so from that standpoint Holmes value wound not matter because you are not trading for Capela regardless.

The 27 pick has more value than Omax.  Omax was a 24 pick.  That 27 has reasonable potential to be lottery.  Teams could easily convince themselves that there is a good chance Luka bolts and we are a bottom feeder by 27.  Picks in general are more valuable than the player recently picked because they represent more possibilities.
