Hawks looking to trade

Which teams might have an interest in Capela's $22.2 million expiring contract for next season? They be looking to reduce payroll the following year. A team that can send us back a useful player plus an asset (depending on the player) with similar salary but on a longer deal?

EXAMPLES:

Bulls - Vucevic (2yrs at $21 and $20 mil). [I think a trade like this would be Vuc into the JC TPE, then create a new $22 mil TPE from the CC trade]

Grizzlies - Marcus Smart (2yrs at $19 and $21 mil). I think they need a center, but I'm not sure how his season was with them.

Any others you can think of?

Poeltl with Toronto fits.  Could be the bridge from Capela.  Allows us to play Okongwu at the 4 or 5 in a rotation with Jalen.

Marcus Smart would be a huge win

I don’t want Tobias.. oh myyyy

MLE off the bench at backup PF .

He's more likely to get $20 mil per though from a team like the Pistons with capspace.

That guy was different in Orlando as a young player man he got after it and earned himself a nice place in the league but then became strictly a jump shooter role player and moves on the court like he wants no body contact from anyone.  

I remember when he came on they said he was Channing Fry cuz.. I dunno he faded a ton to me and his contract .. oh boy

It would be a huge win off-season getting Marcus Smart and Mikal Bridges… talk about complete turnaround

Sounds good on paper but why would those teams trade those players to us.

I want realistic solutions.  So far, I haven't seen many.  If I'm MEM, I wanna see how Smart works with their team at full strength.  If I'm BKN, for better or worse, Bridges is my best player and I'm looking to build around him. 

Us talking about getting Bridges is like when Laker fans go, "Let's just get Trae for our junk.  Hawks are trash so they don't need him."  

We need to find the next McDaniels brother.  Find me that guy.

I believe so but not sourced. That’s gonna open it’s own can of worms

Well it's been posted here that his longtime agent left Klutch recently.  Just adding that because I think it's wrong for us to suggest he left 'to be repped by his dad' as it doesn't seem the events lined up that way.

It seems more like they knew their agent was planning on leaving, so they made moves as part of a secession plan.

Particularly since he's NOT being repped by his dad.

Also Wilkes left Klutch in February 2023, Trae stuck around for a year after. 

No issue with moving on if his guy is no longer there.
