Everyone is saying now, that Atlanta strategy has changed and they want to be sellers. Looking for young players and picks. This means their young players and picks are off the table and they have little interest in guys like THJ.
I would be interested in Murray, but I don't think we have the ammo.
Hunter is a theoretical 2-way wing, but hasn't been all that good, is injured a lot and is not a PF. Price would likely be a FRP, so I am not interested.
I have no interest in Bey, as the word is that he is a very weak defender.
Bogi is good, but not really a big upgrade over THJ.
This leaves Capela. I think he is very much a center we could use. I know I have been against minor moves before a trade for big wing is realized, but this one is a bit different. Capela is overpayed to an extent, but will be expiring next season and will have value to teams. Salaries I would consider for him are THJ, Holmes, Maxi, Curry, Hardy and Green. THJ is probably more valuable than him, but Atlanta probably isn't interested in him anyway. Holmes and Maxi would be great from Mavs perspective, as both don't play and none is expiring. Capela would be a huge upgrade. But, Holmes and Maxi are such negative contracts, that 2 SRP wouldn't be enough to motivate the seller, imho.
What I would consider would be Hardy and 2 SRP as assets. Remaining salaries would be either Holmes+Maxi or Holmes+Curry, with Atlanta also sending Garrison Mathews. Mavs get another center they need, that is movable (as a decent contract) either in the summer or next year TDL. Or Mavs can choose to resign him for another contract. They also dump at least one bad contract while keeping most of flexibility for the summer. Perhaps even increasing flexibility, as he will be a playable expiring contract, while Holmes is just salary filler.
Edit: only interested in Capela if big wing trade is not available at TDL
