The things I would do for a Clint Capela trade right now
5 comments
On a serious note I think this would be a great opportunity to move Capela if we really want to start Okongwu going forward.
For what though?
I think Nance is the more likely trade candidate. Capela probably retires a Hawk at this point.
Nance for MccBride framework.
Trade Clint, run Okungwu and Nance until Mitch is healthy. Then trade Nance at the deadline
Won’t happen but a big body like Robinson to pair with Okungwu as a center rotation would be heavenly. They both are never healthy, just pray it’s never at the same time
Hate to say it, but the money doesn’t work out. The closest non-Nova Knick salaries are Randle ($28) and Robinson ($14). Capela for Robinson doesn’t work unless they add players/salary, but since we’re at the roster limit and still haven’t signed Djurisic I don’t know why we’d do a trade that adds more players.
Randle for Capela + filler (Roddy?) does work, but we’d need to add draft assets to the deal for NY to agree and that’s before considering whether it’d be a good move for us.
Maybe a third team can come in and help facilitate a trade, but the main problem is that New York doesn’t really have enough tradable salary to make a trade easy
