Nice

[ATLHawks3]

This move tells me that they won't be afraid to pay the tax in years to come.

So we've locked up Trae, Collins and Cap. That's a damn solid core to build around.

I would assume so as well.

Lets get Heurter locked up

Among the biggest takeaways for me is that Ressler/Schlenk are firmly convinced that for these next few years, the actual revenue growth is going to be as stunning as has been widely-anticipated.

While I'll be totally surprised if Huerter's journey isn't practically a mirror of Collins', what won't surprise me is if Schlenk sets his sights on extending Delon Wright an additional year or two.

Good deal.

I love that they extended Capela but I also find it oddly interesting and completely out of left field but hey I’m just a fan speculating

Damn, didn't see this coming. I like it alot though.

Cap could have got more years and more money on the open market. Guess he loves playing with Trae that much.

That it's easier to trade Capela and get real value back with 2 additional years vs trading him at the end of this season as an expiring for not much return?  ...

While the rest of the NBA world is eating up Sixer candy, Schlank is putting in work.

Nice.

[ATLHawks3]

Clint, I love your impact on the team. I just want you to hit your bunnies this year.

Someone is reading my mind 

[NBASupes]

The new TV deal is gonna play a massive role.

[JTB]

I just find the signing odd and out of no where but very good at the same time .

 

it’s just weird to me. On one hand it’s easier to move him this way IF that’s what’s decided in the future but on the other hand say he wins DPOY one season over the next 2 seasons…schlenk locked him up for cheap!

If Cam and Hunter become breakout stars, there could be less room to retain Capela.  We could give Okongwu the position.  Also, since Okongwu is a Giannis and Embiid stopper, he should replace Capela.  

I like that we are keeping Capela for the remainder of his prime.  But I think others might not see him as essential.
