    IF we could move #18 and Capela to say, the Pacers for their pick and the rights to Camron Payne, would you do it?

    Would rather put Jones in a deal than Capela if possible.

    Oh how times have changed :)

    I'm liking Capela. Dude has to be tremendously proud of himself. He was looked at as another raw, Thabeet like talent that would get some minutes off the bench but never really do anything with them. Remember the Official when will Capela get a FG thread and the FT thread?

    He's shaking off the jitters. He's getting more comfortable in the league and the game is slowing down for him. Already way better than Dorsey and I expect this guy to be in high demand after amother season or two. He's bound to make some money

    Some mocks have him available at 18, so it's probably a moot point :p

    And hell to the no on trading Capela for that low asking price.

    Mock drafts are a moot point. :p

    Payne won't be there at #18. :p:p

    Why are people so eager trade Capela? He's a solid back up to Dwight and has shown potential to become a star.

    Big men with his athletic ability and talent don't come along that often.

    I would only trade Capela to move up into the top 4.

    Aside from that it's a complete crapshoot. Theoretically great scouting can sniff out the couple standouts you see every draft in the 5-14 range but I suspect its luck as much as anything - meaning one year a scout might be right and the next year wrong.

    nope.... Capela has sky high potential... would only deal him as a last resort for a proven commodity at a position of need (i'd consider him in a deal for Lowry or similar...)
    High potential at thinnest position in league trumps...

    Only 1 out of 30 people so far would. I'm guessing that one person is the OP himself.

    P.S. I wouldn't trade Capela for Cameron Payne straight up.
