GDT: Clippers (16-10) at Mavs (16-10) 7:30p

Capela is a moot point now with Lively. Unless we are going to start both and go big like T Wolves, then stagger them like we do with Luka and Kyrie. Thats the only way I would bother with Capela. Lively doesnt need any minutes reduction.

Are you joking? Capela is exactly what we need.

Only this year and the next under contract
Could re-sign at a lower value after
Slowing down at almost 30
No expectations of PT and can mentor Lively
Right now we are starting Markieff f@#$king Morris

But yeah it's all moot. Atlanta was asking Green, Hardy, and the 10th pick (which became Lively, Holmes, and OMax).

I'm not sure you'd find anyone on DM.com who would trade Lively, Omax, Green, Hardy, and Holmes for Capela as perfect a fit as he'd be here.

We started Markief once. Lively is hurt.
Idc, Capela isnt big enough of an upgrade to bench Lively. Again, if we want to try twin towers then im all aboard, but I'm not moving DL to the bench for Capela...especially while we still dont have a legit starting 4.

Insane take. Our big rotation is trash. And youve seen what happens if Lively ever gets hurt.

Whats insane is thinking that we are good at the 4 with a rotation of DJJ and Grant/Morris and wanting to bench Lively to add Capela. Lets bench our 3rd best/most valuable player while using what little assets we have in the trade to do so. I'd hapily follow the T Wolves template and run both Capela and DL as starters but fk benching a rookie who is pretty much what we need r now. I have zero interest in the potential of stunting his growth.

IMO, a better use of assets would be to get a starting 4 who can rebound, defend and play some 5 when necessary.
