Boban is not good enough. Playoffs showed it.
But not at Capela's salary. Plus, Capela will not be happy being a 12-20 mpg back-up.
I'd love to see the Sixers bring back Boban.
lolWith all the talk about Butler to Houston in a sign and trade, the Sixers would need a third team as they would have no use for Capela. First, the Sixers would need to get Gordon to do an extension.
Here, we got:
Houston gets - Butler
Sixers get - Gordon, Deandre Hunter, Kevin Huerter and an Atlanta 1st round pick ( andmaybe a Houston 1st Round pick)
Hawks get - Capela and PJ Tucker
Why the teams do it:
Houston covets Butler
Sixers get rid of a guy who doesn't really want to be there and pick up some shooters , a young wing defender and add quality, inexpensive depth.
Hawks- they have no rim protector. Tucker is an established and top level wing defender. Reddish is much better than Huerter so that's not a big loss. Getting Capela and Tucker should propel them into the playoffs next year making the draft pick not that big a deal.
so the Hawks would effectively spend three 1st round picks to pay Capela and 34 year-old Tucker $20+ million
Classic RJ to attack another person for pointing out the obvious flaws in his trade fantasy.
The Hawks worked to position themselves just to take DeAndre Hunter last week. They aren't trading Hunter with 4 years of cheap control and another 1st round pick to be saddled with Clint Capela ($70 million over the next 4 years) and PJ Tucker's ($16 million over the next two years) salary obligations.
In this era a 16.6/12.7/1.5 block elite defending center is easily worth $70M over 4 years. In fact, the only two people in the Top 10 in rebounding who made less than Capela than did last year were KAT and Vucecvic and they will be making far more than Capela next year. Capela was $5M or more less in salary than the other seven.

But you don't want this on the Sixers.
Hawks know what they are doing.

See above post for details. RJ done lost his goddamm mind.
I've been extremely impressed with the moves they've been making. They already have a cheap payroll and they're getting much cheaper and more talented.
Just looked over the roster and stats. I think they'll resign Dedmon if they can get a reasonable number for him. His numbers are very solid. 10.8 pts, 7.5 reb on 49/38/81 percentages in only 25 min/game. Young, Huerter, Hunter, Collins, Dedmon is a promising lineup.
You're the one to talk.
Remind me again when a team was structured with just young players and succeeded?
Remind me who the Hawks have to stop anyone who drives to the basket?
agree totally. They are in an amazing position 12 months from now, and that will be coming off a "fun" season with perhaps a 6-8 seed.
Talk about being out of your damn mind...how many injuries are you expecting in the East for the Hawks to go from 29 wins to a 6-8 seed? Hunter is a nice defender but the Hawks were the worst defensive team in the NBA last year and still have no one in the middle.
As to next summer, the only big that will be available will be Andre Drummond.
