Even without picks, that is an interesting deal. Green could be REALLY good. His defense and athleticism is elite. His shooting has been incredibly (40.1% last year, 37% for career). He is an underrated creator and distributor. But he's also a guy who has yet to find a large and consistent role.
One one hand, if we can't find him a spot, then we should trade him somewhere he can be part of a solid rotation. Capela is also perfect as a two-year stopgap. He's paid a lot, but does exactly what we need and could help mentor Lively until he's ready.
On the other hand, I'm not sure it's ever a good trade to trade young up-and-comers for two year rentals. Capela could be resigned after next season as a solid backup (he'll only be 30) but he's still diminishing value especially if Lively develops like we think he will.
