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

[RGP1981]

Nurk is a better solution than Capela.  Nurk is a better solution than Powell/McGee.

The perfect solution would be either Zubac or J.Allen.

Please answer...  would Capela be on the floor the final 5 minutes of a Mavs playoff game?

Disagree. I don't know what idea of Nurkic's defense you have in your head but he is not a better solution than Capela on defense. Also, I don't know why you are putting Zubac and J.Allen together like that. Allen is more mobile and much better at rim protection than Zubac.

By any chance, are you a fan of big Euro Centers with plodding feet and the turning circle of a tanker? If yes, it would have been better to get Jacob Poeltl, cause he's a better mover than Nurk, Jonas or Zubac. :p

To answer your last question, yes, I can see Capela on the floor in the final 5 minutes of a Mavs playoff game with the current roster and depending on the opponent... Kyrie, Green, Luka, Kleber or G-Will, Capela.

I would much rather prefer Allen to Capela... but if the choice is Capela, Holmes, Nurk, Jonas or Zubac, I'm going with Capela.

??? Capella was part of best Houston years. He was traded in the last desperate attempt to turn things around after the "genius" CP3 for Westbrook trade. It was that trade that started the Houston downfall, Capela and his weaknesses were minor problem compared to that trade. Capela was then part of TDL package that got Covington to Houston in an extreme small ball experiment that failed quickly.

This is what I remember too... and even if the Rockets' reason for trading Capela was what some are trying to say, that was a bad direction they went in.
