    They won't be playing Adams a ton. 15-20 mpg and Capela only played 21 mpg last year.

    I love Capela, but why? We are definitely capable of throwing it out a huge lineup.

    I know. We have no guard depth. Could've gotten one of the best 6th men guards in the NBA instead of overpaying Capela multiyear contract to play backup to Adams.

    They rebuild through the draft and some great trading (SGA)

    We have younger players, but also a core good enough to trade some to get more experienced players.

    This is why you get assets to be in the position to go after superstars.

    But with Sengun & Smith? This team will definitely be deep with size and defense.

    I don’t think it was an overpay but definitely wanted a combo guard

    Does the Capels signing signal Sengun is going to moved in Giannis trade? I certainly hope not.

    Haven't you learned from all these other teams that trading for super stars doesn't work? How many of them have failed miserably?

    People are freaking out about this, but think about it. Landale is going to be gone, you cant count on playing Adams super heavy minutes in the regular season, the double big line up was super effictive, so we needed a better option than Landale to split time with Adams. Enter Capela.

    OR there is a huge trade coming, but it is likely option 1.

    Sengun is only logical choice. And if we do that we better be getting plenty of offense back.
