Shooting just 31 % from three this season (35 % career average). Not really much there that would convince me, even if he is available more or less for free
We said the same about John Collins.
Looked into the Hawks on/off numbers a bit and Capela seems the common denominator for all their bad five man units. He certainly does not function in small ball units, which we specialize in. On the other hand Bey works really well with Bogdanovic, Young and Murray. Also he´s a RFA. I doubt he´ll get more than Green, so question is what you pay and what you are willing to pay going forward.
Ultimately with ourlimited assets we have to focus on players like Bey. I also would like to sign or acquire all the guys that are 20/5/5 shooting 50/40/90, but for that to happen, we first have to acquire the Thunder´s 25 first round picks from the next five years.
