I agree Capela is not worth full unprotected 27, but I would pull the trigger if something else comes back. I don't see much point in saving that pick as we likely shouldn't be after players that cost 3 picks anyway, due to CBA limitations. I think Capela will not lose much value in a season and a half where Mavs could trade him if Lively is ready. Capela alone probably doesn't make us a contender, but he sure brings us closer, if other things work out. I am very affraid about this season if Mavs think Powell is the best center they have. We have tons of materials to know he is not a starting level center.
Lets not forget the "famous" Stein quote. Mavs have not done enough and they know it.
But, I think there is only one thing to "look forward to" - how will they finish the McGee story. Will they again pay assets to try to erase their mistake or will they be more patient, waiting for a trade where his contract would be useful.
Yeah if anyone is willing to sit out and make nearly $6 million for nothing, I think it would be McGee. I'd rather just keep his contract and try to workout something next summer than burn assets now
