Totally agree. Those two guys are basically the opposite of what Mavs need. At least if they want to construct any kind of respectable defense. They might get rebounds (which I guess inflates their advanced defensive stats), but they can't switch on any scoring wing/guard and they will mostly play drop coverage. Which is a killer in playoffs.
Someone else wondered, why NO is not interested in Capela - they need a floor spacing centre next to Zion. If he ever plays... And Atlanta likely doesn't want Valanciunas.
