    Yeah .. Capela's deal equals Londale, DFS equals Londale plus Cam. I hope it's the former. I'm not sure I can stomach Cam to LA.

    I’m not surprised by this. We were undersize with Alpi and wanted someone who can play above the rim. Alpi is probably gonna see some time as a 4 along with Adam’s or Capela

    Hope it’s Landale for Capela S&T

    the only thing that makes sense to me…

    What if this opens the door for trading Sengun and other for Giannis if Bucks do decide to trade? I told a buddy that if they sign more 3&D guys then they could theoretically set the team up for Giannis while still keep Amen and Jabari.

    It’s cool to have Clint back, but I honestly don’t understand this signing. Why re-sign Adams if you’re going to bring back Clint?

    something has to be in the works because I find it hard to believe Capela is coming here to be a 3rd string C after being a starter or that we're giving 3rd string C's 3/21 deals

    it's not like he's on his end of career Dwight or Deandre Jordan arc right now, he's only 30 and averaged 9 and 9 this year

    Not sure I understand this. Only thoughts are that another trade is coming, just adding salary for a future trade, or just want to be really deep.

    Numbers definitely trending downward at his age, but still quite the rebounder
