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.
ATL is not taking Holmes at $12m/year. His worth is -$9m. They have a younger backup C in Fernandez at $10m less.
IMO, the Capela discussion is silly... and Holmes is a vet min player at this point, making his value -$12m. I hope he turns that around.
